Scotland head to Athens on Saturday for a crucial World Cup Qualifier against Greece, knowing they need a win to set up a decide against Denmark in the final game.
Steve Clarke's side are unbeaten with 10 points from four games - the same as Denmark who they face on Tuesday - and must finish top of the group in order to qualify automatically for next summer's tournament.

Greece vs Scotland Tips
On an incredibly important matchday, it’s really difficult to call this match. In March, Scotland went to Greece and came away with a well fought victory due to a Scott McTominay penalty. However, in the return leg of that Nations League tie, Greece absolutely blew Scotland away at Hampden and could have come away with more than a 3-0 victory if they kept pushing for it.
In October, it was Scotland’s turn to put three beyond their opponents with a 3-1 win at Hampden in which Greece were incredibly disappointing. Neither side were incredibly impressive but Scotland went 1-0 down in the 62nd minute only to almost instantly reply two minutes later through Ryan Christie. Lewis Ferguson put Scotland ahead in the 80th minute after a scramble in the box and a calamitous area allowed Lyndon Dykes to make it 3-1 in injury time.
Should Scotland win this one, they will keep the pressure on Denmark which would set up a barnstormer of a match on the final day. A Greece victory though, if Denmark win, would mean that the Danes would only need a draw on the final matchday and all the pressure would be on Scotland.
Here are three predictions for Saturday's game in Athens from Free Bets.
Tip 1: Scotland to win either half
While the football played under Tuchel has been stodgy at times, England are undeniably World Cup qualifying experts. They have now gone 37 games unbeaten in qualifiers, a record stretching back to October 2009 when they were beaten 1-0 against Ukraine.
Anyway, Serbia, who were supposed to be England’s stiffest opposition on paper, were put to the sword in a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Tuchel’s charges in Belgrade in September.
On that occasion, England raced into a 2-0 lead at half-time before adding three further goals in the second half as they cruised to victory.
On only one occasion during qualifiers this year have England failed to win both halves, so I find it hard to bet against them not fulfilling this outcome.
Tip 2: John McGinn to score or assist
I’ve been critical of John McGinn during recent international breaks as I think he’s struggled to bring his club form to the international stage. However, he offers so much in this Scotland side, he holds up the ball well, presses relentlessly and is quality on the ball.
In games like this, I don’t think Scotland will create a bucketload of chances so set pieces and midfielders breaking into the box will be key, in my opinion. McGinn loves those runs from the backpost into the middle of the box and I fancy him to get a goal contribution in this one.
Tip 3: Scott McTominay or John McGinn to be booked, over 1.5 goals in the match and over 3.5 shots on target for Scotland
Scotland’s midfielders love breaking up attacks and performing the ‘dark arts’ and with the attacking prowess that Greece have I can see McGinn or McTominay picking up a yellow.
I think it will start off as a tight affair but the longer it remains goalless the more it will open up and I do think there will be at least a couple of goals on Saturday.
I think Scotland will get plenty of set pieces and with the aerial threats on the pitch, can manage to muster at least four shots on target, even if they can’t do much from open play.
