Scotland vs Portugal Prediction and Betting Tips (15.10.2024)

Command Analysis

Scotland

Current form

The Scotland team found itself in a very difficult group, where initially it had minimal chances even for third place. So far, Steve Clarke team has fully justified its status as the main outsider of the quartet, closing the group table without any points to its credit. The "tartan army" is only three points behind third-placed Poland, so overall it is still realistic to fight for third place.

Disqualifications and injuries

Taylor and Gunn are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

Scotland have lost their last three matches
Scotland have scored in each of their last three matches

Probable lineup : Gordon - Ralston, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson - Christie, McTominay, Gilmour - Doak, Dykes, McLean.

Portugal

Current form

Even before the start of the group stage, the Portuguese national team was considered the main contender for victory in its group – Croatia, Poland and Scotland are seriously inferior to Roberto Martinez’s team in class. Based on the results of three rounds, this “team of the chosen ones” has fully justified this status, leading the group with nine points. The 3:1 victory over Poland was the third in a row and allowed them to maintain a three-point gap from Croatia.

Disqualifications and injuries

Goncalves is injured.

Tip and bets

1.75both will score

Portugal is undoubtedly the favorite of the match - in terms of player selection, the Portuguese have a huge advantage over their opponents, and they have gained excellent form recently. It is obvious that Scotland defense will again have plenty of problems and the hosts are unlikely to remain dry. At the same time, the "tartan army" has nothing to lose, the Scots are quite capable of taking risks at home and their goal will not be a big sensation.

We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75

Bet on the outcome

The Portuguese national team is in great shape and has not lost points in the group yet – today the visitors will certainly strive to build on their success and there is a chance to secure a ticket to the playoffs ahead of schedule. Scotland lost all three matches and overall looks frankly weak, it is unlikely that in such a state the Scots are capable of giving a real fight to the main favorite and leader of their group.

Bet - Asian handicap (-1) on Portugal. This bet is offered for 1.99

Bet on corners

Portugal are favourites and will probably spend a lot of time attacking, but Scotland are quite capable of responding at home – there should be plenty of corners.

Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
