- 希腊队在过去的七场比赛中赢了六场
- 主队在那场比赛中保持了五场零失球
- 苏格兰队在过去的九场客场比赛中输掉了六场
希腊前景看好
苏格兰在小组赛的下半场给了自己一条国家联盟的生命线，但在周四在比雷埃夫斯对阵希腊的季后赛第一回合之后，他们的a组地位可能会受到威胁。
希腊队被视为欧洲国际足球舞台上的后起之秀之一，他们在B组中积累了与英格兰队相同的分数，赢得了六场比赛中的五场，其中包括在温布利球场令人难忘的2:1胜利。
他们的防守决心尤其令人印象深刻；三狮军团在雅典以3比0的胜利复仇，这场胜利被证明是决定性的，他们是过去七场对阵希腊的比赛中唯一进球的球队；苏格兰面临着避免前往周日的艰巨任务；他在汉普顿的第二回合比赛仍处于平局状态。
苏格兰人需要上路
史蒂夫·克拉克；西班牙队在比赛开始时连败三场，这延续了他们15场比赛的惨淡表现，他们唯一的胜利是对阵直布罗陀队。
然而，尽管困难重重，他们还是战胜了波兰和克罗地亚，并与葡萄牙队战成零比零的平局，这让他们有机会保持领先地位。
克拉克担心的是，他们在过去的9场客场比赛中输掉了6场，虽然他们在客场的最后12场比赛中有10场进球，但这是他们面临的比正常防守更艰难的防守，所以希腊人应该声称第一回合的优势，正确的得分投注爱好者被指向2比0的胜利。
- Greece have won six of their last seven matches
- The home side have kept five clean sheets during that run
- Scotland have lost six of their last nine games on the road
Greek prospects are on the up
Scotland gave themselves a Nations League lifeline in the second half of their group campaign, but their Group A status may be hanging by a threat after the first leg of their playoff against Greece in Piraeus on Thursday.
The Greeks are regarded as one of the up-and-coming nations on the European international football scene, and they accumulated the same number of points as England in Group B, winning five of their six matches, including a memorable 2-1 success at Wembley.
It has been their defensive resolve that has been particularly impressive – the Three Lions, who gained revenge with a 3-0 win in Athens that proved decisive, are the only team to have scored against Greece in their last seven outings – and Scotland face a massive task to avoid heading to Sunday’s second leg at Hampden still in the tie.
Scots need to pick up on the road
Steve Clarke’s side were staring into the abyss after beginning their campaign with three straight defeats, which extended a dismal run of 15 matches in which their only victory came against Gibraltar.
However, against the odds, they posted victories over Poland and Croatia, and a goalless draw against Portugal that has given them a chance to remain in the top bracket.
The worry for Clarke is that they have lost six of their last nine away games and while they have scored in ten of their last 12 matches on the road, this is a tougher than normal defence they face, so the Greeks should claim a first-leg advantage and correct-score punting enthusiasts are pointed towards a 2-0 win.
