Scotland and Greece meet in the UEFA Nations League quarter-final second leg, with the hosts leading 1-0 after their win in Piraeus on Thursday night.
The Scots have been on a great run of late, winning three of their last four UEFA Nations League games and even drawing 0-0 with football superpower Portugal. The Greeks, on the other hand, have also performed reasonably well apart from their 3-0 home defeat to England last November, but the resilient Scottish defence showed Greece's attacking limitations on Thursday.
Scotland - Greece Betting Tips: Scotland to Win or Draw (1X)
In the first leg, Scotland won 1-0 in Piraeus after a solid performance. They went toe-to-toe with the Greeks in the first half, matching them for possession and shots on goal. Although the second half was completely ineffective in terms of attacking potential as the Scots tried to protect their lead, it was a good indication of how well they are set up defensively, making it difficult for less talented opponents to overcome their defensive block. Furthermore, Scotland are unbeaten in their last four Nations League games and should be mentally and physically strong enough to at least secure a draw on Sunday.

Greece team news
Greece have no major injuries or suspensions heading into this game but are nevertheless expected to make a couple of changes in their starting lineup following a defeat in the first leg. It is highly likely that Benfica’s centre-forward Vangelis Pavlidis will start in place of Fotis Ioannidis and Konstantinos Karetsas should replace Giorgos Masouras on the right wing.

Three reasons we expect Scotland to Win or Draw (1X)

- Scotland are undefeated in their last 4 UEFA Nations League matches (3 W 1D) and conceded just one goal
- Scotland have been solid defensively in recent fixtures, whereas Greece only managed to score Over 1.5 Goals Total against teams like Finland and Republic of Ireland, which are inferior to Scotland at this moment of time
