Match Preview:
Scotland are bidding to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1988 and they have made an unbeaten start to 2026 qualifying, picking up four points from their opening two fixtures away against Denmark and Belarus last month.

After holding Denmark to a goalless stalemate on matchday one, the Tartan Army eased to a routine 2-0 win in Belarus, courtesy of a first-half strike from Che Adams and a second-half own goal. Including a 4-0 friendly win over Liechtenstein in June, Scotland have kept three successive clean sheets for the first time since November 2021.

By the end of this week, no men's head coach will have taken charge of more Scotland matches than Steve Clarke, who will equal the late Craig Brown's record of 71 games on Thursday and will surpass that record when he leads his team out against Belarus next Monday.

Greece are preparing to face the same Scotland side that they beat 3-1 on aggregate in the promotion/relegation playoffs of the Nations League in March, losing the first leg 1-0 on home soil before securing a 3-0 second-leg triumph at Hampden Park.

That victory for the Sky Blue and White was the first of four in a row across all competitions in which they scored a whopping 17 goals in total, netting five of those in a comprehensive 5-1 home win over Belarus in their opening Group C fixture in World Cup qualifying last month.

However, Greece were brought back down to earth just three days later when they suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to Denmark on matchday two, leaving Ivan Jovanovic’s side sitting third in Group C and one point behind both the Danes and Scotland who occupy the top-two positions.

Match Prediction:
Greece may have won their last visit to Glasgow, but Scotland will be regarded as slight favourites on home soil this time around. Both nations have failed to scored in all of the previous four meetings, but we can see this run coming to an end on Thursday, with the hosts claiming maximum points by a narrow margin. We say: Scotland 2-1 Greece
