Scotland vs Greece Betting Odds | WC Qualification Match

The 1X2 market is the most common and straightforward option for football betting. Here, bettors can back one out of three possible outcomes of a match:

• 1: Home team (Scotland) wins
• X: Draw
• 2: Away team (Greece) wins

Before placing your bets in this market, consider which outcome brings the most value. If you examine the Scotland vs Greece betting odds, bets on Scotland have odds of 7/4, Greece has 13/8 odds, and a draw has 2/1 odds. This means correctly predicting Scotland’s win pays £7 profit for every £4. Similarly, correctly predicting a draw pays £2 for every pound, and Greece’s win pays £13 for every £8. The stake (betting amount) is also returned on successful bets. 

If a bet yields high returns, the odds are considered long. On the other hand, if a bet yields low returns, it has short odds. When the odds are short, the outcome is considered more likely, and for long odds, the outcome is considered less likely. Keep these factors in mind when picking your bet. Also, look at both teams’ recent form and injuries.

Double Chance Odds

The Double Chance market provides an extra safety by covering two possible outcomes instead of one. This market is ideal for bettors who prefer low-risk bets, especially if both teams appear to be evenly matched. 

Here, you can bet on 1X, 12, or X2:

• 1X: Home team (Scotland) wins or the match draws. This bet loses if Greece wins.
• X2: The match draws or the away team (Greece) wins. This bet loses if Scotland wins.
• 12: Either team wins. This bet loses if the match draws.

This is an alternative to the 1X2 bet. However, the Scotland vs Greece odds in this market are lower because your chances of winning are higher. 

Check both teams’ win-loss-draw record in the last 10 matches before considering this market. Scotland had 5 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses in their last 10 matches, whereas Greece had 7 wins and 3 losses in the same period.

Handicap Betting Odds

Handicap betting balances the odds when one team appears to be clearly stronger than the other. With a handicap, one team is given a virtual advantage or disadvantage before kickoff. For this fixture, bettors can pick handicaps ranging from (+/-) 1.75 to (-/+) 1.5.

For example, if you bet on Scotland with a +1.25 handicap, Greece must win by a margin of three goals or more to overcome the gap. Let’s say Greece wins 1–2. The final score will be adjusted to 2.25–0.75, and bets on Scotland win. But with a score like 0–3, Greece will be able to overcome the handicap (1.25–1.75).

Let’s take another example, where Greece has the advantage. In the +1.5 handicap, bets on Greece win as long as the goal difference is two or lower. Draw bets win with a three-goal difference. If Scotland wins with a four-goal difference, they will be able to overcome the handicap, and your bet loses.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds

The Both Teams to Score (BTTS) market is a simple wager where you predict whether both sides will score at least one goal during the match. Choose “Yes” if you believe both teams will find the net at least once, or “No” if you expect that one or both will fail to score. Yes bets win if the score is at least 1–1. No bets win if the final score has a zero in it. So, BTTS No bets will win with any score like 0–0, 1–0, or 0–2.

This market focuses purely on attacking potential rather than who wins. So, when analysing the Scotland vs Greece odds in this market, check how many clean sheets both teams kept in their last 10 matches. The higher the clean sheets (when the opposition team’s score is zero), the more chances that “No” bets will win. 

In their last 10 matches, Scotland kept six clean sheets and Greece kept four.

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds

In this market, bettors predict how many total goals will be scored in the match (regardless of how many goals each team scores individually). For example, on 7bet, the default line for this fixture is set at 2.5 goals combined. Bettors can choose whether the total number of goals will be over or under 2.5.

If you bet on Over 2.5 goals, you win if the match produces three or more goals in total. This means the final score should look like 1–2, 2–2, 3–0, etc. The Under 2.5 bets win if the combined total is two or less.

In their last 10 matches, Scotland scored an average of 1.2 goals per match, and Greece’s average was 2.2. This brings their combined average total to 3.4. Use this data to minimize your risk in this market. If you are a cautious bettor, choose low-risk bets like over 0.5, which wins as long as either team scores at least one goal.

Correct Score Odds

Correct Score betting is a market where you predict the exact final score of a match. You’ll see long odds in this bet because predicting a precise score can be difficult. For example, if your bet of a 1–0 full-time score is correct, you stand to win £13 for every £2. This is just one example. Bettors can adjust the betting line on this fixture to select any combination of goals between zero and +5.
