Match Overview: Scotland vs Greece

Denmark (3-0) is leading Group C over Scotland (2-0) on goal difference. Both countries have four points. The Greeks are next with three points.

Team Spotlight: Scotland

Starting with a goalless draw away to Denmark, Scotland were then 2-0 away winners at Belarus. The Scots have been participants in the past two Euros. They lost in the playoffs to qualify for the 2022 World Cup.

Central midfielder Scott McTominay won the Serie A title last season with Napoli. He was named the league's best player. Vice-captain John McGinn of Aston Villa may be making his 80th appearance for the national side. That would tie him for fifth place on Scotland's all-time caps list.

Team Spotlight: Greece

It's been a tale of two outcomes for the Greeks. They hammered Belarus 5-1. Then Greece lost 3-0 at home to the Danes. Striker Vangelis Pavlidis has posted five goals and two assists in eight matches with Portugal's Benfica.

Under manager Ivan Jovanovic, Greece are proving to be road warriors. Along with the 3-0 win at Scotland, recent results include a 2-1 win at England. There were also 2-0 away wins against the Republic of Ireland in Dublin and Finland in Helsinki.
