Despite Scotland’s midfield injuries, their overall strength, form, and motivation exceed Greece’s, giving them an excellent chance (>60%) to avoid defeat. Greece’s weak attack and unstable defense make a home win difficult.

SERGIO REGUILON’s girlfriend has hit back at suggestions he cheated in a previous relationship after consistent rumours. The former Manchester United and Tottenham defender is now dating Clara Ranz Rodriguez but spent years with Marta Diaz.

The DAZN presenter shared five photos on Instagram where she attracted over 176,000 likes. The snaps left the Italian’s 9.2million followers in awe as they stormed the comments’ section.

Switzerland have maintained a flawless defense, not conceding a goal. Sweden have struggled to score in recent matches. We expect Sweden’s individual total under 1 goal, with the Swiss likely to find the net.

In head-to-head matches, Greece hold a slight edge in corners with 4 per match compared to Scotland’s 3.33. Across four rounds, Greece have averaged 6 corners per game, while Scotland have averaged 4.25. We predict the total corners in this match will be under 10.5.

Turkey have scored before halftime in 6 of their last 7 home World Cup qualifiers. Bulgaria have conceded in 6 of their last 7 qualifying matches. It is hard to imagine the visitors holding off the initial Turkish onslaught.

Wales desperately need a convincing win against Liechtenstein. They currently trail by three points for the second spot in Group J and are six goals behind on goal difference. However, Craig Bellamy's squad often struggles against low defensive blocks. Can they break this trend and score a few goals at the Rheinpark Stadium in Vaduz?

Cyprus perform well at home and are likely to concede possession to Austria, but pushing them back will be difficult. They have never earned fewer than three corners in the current qualifiers, so Cyprus are expected to get more than 2.5 corners in Limassol.

Luis de la Fuente's squad have been exemplary in this qualifying cycle and have already secured their spot in the upcoming World Cup. On the other hand, Willy Sagnol and his team have fallen short of expectations, virtually losing all chances of making it to the tournament.

With home advantage, more complete squad depth, and stronger tactical stability, Slovakia appear well positioned to claim a victory in this important qualifier.

Luxembourg suffered a 0–2 defeat away to Slovakia in their previous European qualifiers match. Their recent form has been worrying, recording 1 draw and 6 losses in their last seven matches across all competitions.
