Greece vs Scotland prediction, H2H and probable lineups – March 20, 2025
On March 20, 2025, at 20:45 Central European Time, a Nations League match will take place between Greece and Scotland. Let's take a look at the bet on the winner in this clash.
Greece
The Greek national team is experiencing a revival after several challenging years. Despite not qualifying for Euro 2024, it served as an additional motivation to improve their performance. In the Nations League, Greece played in Group 2 of League B, where their opponents were England, Ireland, and Finland. The Greeks finished second with 15 points, securing 5 wins and suffering 1 defeat. They showcased excellent defense, conceding only 4 goals and scoring 11. In matches against England, the Greeks displayed impressive results: although both teams earned 15 points, the English were ranked higher due to better head-to-head records. The Greeks won 2-1 at Wembley but lost at home 0-3.
Scotland
The Scottish national team played in League A, where their opponents were Portugal, Croatia, and Poland. The team finished third, garnering seven points. Notably, the Scots lost all their first-round matches but then found their rhythm and remained unbeaten in the last three encounters. It all started with an unexpected 0-0 draw with Portugal, followed by victories over Croatia 1-0 and Poland 2-1. Despite participating in the top division of the Nations League, Scotland is hard to label as a top-tier European team. Steve Clarke's squad still struggles with consistency, which remains their weak spot.
Probable lineups
Greece: Vlachodimos, Tsimikas, Koulierakis, Mavropanos, Rota, Mantalos, Siopis, Pelkas, Tzolis, Masouras, Pavlidis
Scotland: Gordon, Ralston, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson, McLean, Gilmour, Christie, McTominay, McGinn, Dykes.
