Scotland’s victory against Greece in the opening leg of their Nations League play-off in Piraeus puts them one step closer to keeping their League A standing. The Scotland vs Greece match will kick off at 17:00 UK Time.
This is more of a second chance for the Scots, who have only won two of their last six games in League A. The two victories occurred later on, following a stretch of four games without a win. Scott McTominay, the forward for Napoli, showcased his increasing impact in the first leg by winning the penalty and netting the goal that now distinguishes the two nations.
Greece will undoubtedly feel a sense of disappointment to be in this position, having missed out on automatic promotion due to goal difference. They will find encouragement in having secured two victories in the UK during the group stage. The previous European champions triumphed over England and Ireland in Group B2, ultimately securing a second-place finish. A defeat at home in the first leg of the play-offs, however, risks undermining all the potential they demonstrated. Although the outcome indicates otherwise, Greece performed admirably and had a penalty appeal of their own towards the end of the first leg. Having suffered only two defeats in eight matches, Greece will approach this match with a strong sense of confidence.
