Scotland vs Greece predictions: Scots can seal a significant win
Scotland have lost just one of their last 18 World Cup qualifying matches
Greece have not kept a clean sheet in their last five World Cup qualifiers
Recommended bet: Scotland draw no bet
Scotland took four points from their opening two World Cup qualifiers and they will be aiming to build on their strong start when taking on Greece at Hampden Park.
Steve Clarke's side opened with a 0-0 draw away to Denmark before winning 2-0 against Belarus in neutral Hungary.
Three of their remaining four games are on home soil, starting with a key clash against the third-placed Greeks, who are one point worse off.
Greece had high hopes of qualifying for a first World Cup since Brazil 2014, but they are on the back foot after last month’s 3-0 defeat at home to Denmark.

Prediction
Scotland are off to a strong start in qualifying Group C and can keep it going by defeating Greece in a high stakes encounter.
The teams went head-to-head in a Nations League play-off earlier this year and Greece emerged with a 3-1 aggregate success after a superb 3-0 victory in the second leg at Hampden Park.
However, the Greeks are already under pressure in World Cup qualifying after sliding to a bitterly disappointing 3-0 loss at home to Denmark on matchday two.
Within a four-term section any loss is significant and Greece may struggle to find the right response against a Scotland team which seems to be coping much better with the pressure.
Only the section winners will qualify automatically for the 2026 World Cup and Scotland took a big step forwards by taking four points from two away games, including a well-deserved 0-0 draw against the Danes.
They have home games against Greece and Belarus to look forward to over the next few days and can pass the first obstacle by securing a massive three points.
