Hampden Park will be rocking for this one on Thursday evening, with just one point separating Scotland and Greece in Group C, this feels like a huge chance for Scotland to take a big leap towards qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some World Cup qualification odds and betting angles for Thursday’s fixture:

Scotland v Greece – Thursday, 7.45pm

Punters can bet on Scotland v Greece with William Hill

After a dismal display at Euro 2024, Scotland have bounced back under Steve Clarke with some good wins in the UEFA Nations League before starting this World Cup qualification campaign, in which they sit second in Group C with only goal difference separating them from Denmark.
Having played out a goalless draw with Denmark on Matchday one and then beating Belarus 2-0 away from home just three days later, the Scots will be hoping to continue this unbeaten run as they look to secure their spot in a FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1998.
Steve Clarke’s side will now play three of their remaining four games on home soil which is a huge boost for the Tartan Army, although a 3-0 defeat here to Greece back in March during their UEFA Nations League campaign will no doubt be spoken about in camp.
——————————–
Like Scotland and Denmark, Greece will also be eyeing up a top-spot finish in Group C, a 5-1 victory against Belarus was the perfect start for Ivan Jovanovic’s side but a 3-0 defeat at home to Denmark three days later is a concern.
Maybe being away from home will suit the Greeks more, given they’ve won each of their last four away trips including victories against Ireland, England, Finland and Scotland, conceding just one goal in the process.
These two sides have come head-to-head four times since 1994 with each nation winning two of those meetings, i’m expecting a close encounter between these two again with three of those meetings being won by a single goal.

Prediction: Draw, Scotland 1-1 Greece

If the bet wins, an Acca Boost will be added to your bet returns.
The % of your win back as an Acca Boost will be determined by the number of selections in your Qualifying Acca (see full terms for breakdown of Acca Boost available).

Significant Conditions

This Acca Boost promotion is available to both online customers in the United Kingdom and Ireland using the William Hill website (williamhill.com – the “Website”) or William Hill iOS or Android Mobile app (together, the “Apps”) and UK retail customers in William Hill shops.
To qualify, place a Qualifying Acca on a Sports Betting Terminal or over the counter on Smart Hub SSBT in William Hill shops, or online via the Website or the App, during the Promotion Period.
A “Qualifying Acca” is:

4. On the Promotion Markets.
The “Promotion Markets” are:

No opt in required. If the requirements of a Qualifying Acca are met, the promotion will be applied automatically. If any acca contains any selection with odds of less than 1/5 (1.2), it will not be a Qualifying Acca.
Qualifying Acca wins (less the value of the original stake) will receive an “Acca Boost”, whereby winnings will be boosted by a variable percentage, dependent on the number of selections in the Qualifying Acca:

The increasing percentage of rewards in the Acca Boost reflects the relative risk of placing Qualifying Accas with a higher number of selections.
The following maximum Acca Boost amounts will be applied per Qualifying Acca:
1. For retail customers: £2,000
2. For online customers: £10,000.
There is no daily limit of Qualifying Accas.
In the case of void selections within a Qualifying Acca, the Acca Boost will still apply but the percentage applied will be calculated according to the final number of winning selections.
In the case of an Acca dropping to three selections or less, the acca will lose its Qualifying Acca status and Acca Boost will not apply.
Any Acca Boost on winnings will be applied as part of the standard bet settlement process.
Bets you place using free bets cannot be combined with the Acca Boost
Any acca that has been cashed out will not be eligible for an Acca Boost.
