Greece to Win to Nil
Rationale:
Greece head into this Nations League clash in Piraeus with an impressive defensive record, having kept five clean sheets in their last seven matches. Their backline has been incredibly well-organised, with only England managing to breach their defence in that period—scoring three goals to secure a win. Against a Scotland side that lacks a consistent attacking threat, the hosts have every chance of shutting them out.
Scotland’s form away from home has been concerning, with six defeats in their last nine away matches. While they finished their group campaign positively, Steve Clarke’s side have struggled to create clear-cut chances when playing on the road. Their attacking reliance on midfielders John McGinn and Scott McTominay is a weakness, as neither is a natural striker. The recall of Che Adams offers some hope, but with younger, less experienced forwards like James Wilson and George Hirst in the squad, their goal threat remains limited.
At the other end, Greece have been efficient in front of goal, scoring at least twice in six of their last seven matches. Without captain Tasos Bakasetas, they still have enough creativity to trouble Scotland. Christos Tzolis and Vangelis Pavlidis have been in excellent form, making it likely that Greece will control the game. If they score first, Scotland could find themselves unable to respond, making a Greece win to nil a strong selection.

Scott McTominay to Have 1+ Shots on Target
Rationale:
Despite Scotland’s overall attacking limitations, Scott McTominay remains one of their most effective goal threats. The Manchester United midfielder has a remarkable scoring record for his country, with 10 of his 11 international goals coming in his last 21 appearances. He has also shown a keen eye for goal in the Nations League, registering two goals in this edition of the competition.
One of McTominay’s strengths is his ability to arrive late in the box and take shots from distance. In five of Scotland’s six group stage matches, he managed to hit the target, including tough away fixtures against Portugal and Poland. Given Scotland’s struggles to create high-quality chances, they may rely on McTominay’s ability to test the Greek goalkeeper from midfield.
Even if Scotland struggle to break down Greece’s defence, McTominay is likely to find space to unleash at least one attempt on target. Whether from a set-piece, a long-range strike, or a driving run into the box, backing him to hit the target at least once offers good value.

Vangelis Pavlidis to Have 1+ Shots on Target
Rationale:
Greece’s attacking focal point, Vangelis Pavlidis, has been in outstanding form both for club and country. The 26-year-old has led the line brilliantly and was Greece’s hero when they secured a 2-1 win over England at Wembley, scoring both goals. He followed that performance by forcing a save from the Republic of Ireland goalkeeper in Greece’s next fixture, underlining his consistency in front of goal.
Pavlidis has also been exceptional at club level, delivering 20 goals across 43 appearances for Benfica this season. His movement in and around the penalty area makes him a constant threat, and against a Scotland defence that has struggled in away fixtures, he should be able to get himself into goal-scoring positions.
Given Greece’s ability to create chances and Pavlidis’ current form, backing him to register at least one shot on target appears to be an excellent addition to this Bet Builder. Whether from a direct effort at goal, a header inside the box, or a well-placed strike, the Greek forward should be in the thick of the action.
