Greece vs Scotland Prediction 20.03.2025 | Nations League

• Competition: UEFA Nations League - Relegation/Promotion
• Date: Thursday, 20th, March 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20.45 CET
• Venue: Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (Piraeus)

The UEFA Nations League relegation/promotion playoff kicks off this Thursday evening as Greece takes on Scotland at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus.

The Greeks put up a phenomenal display in League B throughout the tournament, but despite being equal on points with the powerful England, they missed out on automatic promotion to the highest level by goal difference, however, as group runners-up, they will have a second opportunity to meet the top teams in the upcoming edition.

As for Scotland, their showing in the elite level of the UEFA Nations League was subpar and unambitios, as they got off to a terrible start with three defeats from three games, only for their late revival and accumulation of seven points from the final trio of qualifying fixtures proved enough for third place and a new chance at survival in Division A.

Greece vs Scotland Betting Tips : GREECE TO WIN

Although not much divides the two teams, the momentum is undoubtedly on the side of the Thursday-night hosts, and with the overwhelming support of the electric Piraeus crowd, we can picture the Greeks taking a valuable lead before the second leg in Glasgow three days down the line. Numerous top European teams have found it challenging to claim points in Piraeus or Athens, where the Piratiko have transformed their home turf into an unassailable stronghold, so they will surely count on that home edge to secure a lead ahead of the return leg. While Greece’s football team is on the rise, Scotland has experienced a sharp decline over the past two years, with only three wins from their last 19 competitive and non-competitive matches, painting a bleak picture of their recent performances. The hard-earned 2-1 victory, secured in the dying minutes, marked the Tartan Army's first away win in 443 days, highlighting their struggles in recent months to grind out victories on foreign soil. Greece has been in a period of stagnation for the past few years, but the arrival of a new, talented generation is sparking hope that they are returning to their former glory, and proof of their progress should come Thursday evening when they face a shaky Scotland, emerging as narrow victors.
