The match between Greece and Scotland promises to be an exciting encounter, as both teams prepare for their second leg in the UEFA Nations League play-off. Following Scotland's narrow 1-0 victory in the first leg, where a penalty from Scott McTominay secured the win (Braidwood, 2025), anticipation is high for the return fixture at Hampden Park. Scotland's lineup is expected to remain largely unchanged with established players such as Gordon and Robertson leading the charge, while Greece may opt for a more aggressive approach by starting striker Pavlidis .
Scott McTominay’s first-half penalty and a remarkable second-half defensive stand earned Scotland a valuable away win in Athens on Thursday.
Steve Clarke’s side know that Greece dominated long spells of the first leg but will maintain their top-flight status if they avoid defeat at home.
For the Scots, this is more like a second chance, after a dismal run in League A left them with just two wins in six matches. The two wins actually came towards the end after going winless in the opening four games.
Napoli forward Scott McTominay’s growing influence was evident in the first leg as he won the penalty and scored the goal that currently separates the nations.
Greece will feel disappointed to be here, having been locked out of automatic promotion by goal difference. They will take heart in having won twice in the UK at the group stage though.
The former European champions beat England and Ireland in Group B2 on their way to finishing second. A home loss in the play-off first leg, however, threatens to undo all the promise they showed.
Greece possible starting lineup: Vlachodimos; Rota, Mavropanos, Chatzidiakos, Tsimikas; Mantalos, Siopis; Masouras, Pelkas, Tzolis; Pavlidis
Scotland possible starting lineup: Gordon; Ralston, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson; Gilmour, McLean; McGinn, McTominay, Ferguson; Adams
Live streaming options will be readily available for fans eager to catch this crucial matchup. The game will be broadcast on BBC Scotland and iPlayer, ensuring that audiences can follow every moment of this pivotal clash . With both teams showing flashes of brilliance in their previous encounter—Greece’s strong second-half performance underscored by hitting the post—the stakes are undeniably high. As they vie for supremacy in this playoff series, football enthusiasts can expect a thrilling contest filled with tactical battles and individual brilliance.
