Match Stats

At Euro 2024, Scotland failed to deliver any remarkable results. They lost 5-1 to Germany in the opener, drew 1-1 with Switzerland, and suffered a 1-0 defeat to Hungary. Their struggles have continued in the new UEFA Nations League campaign, with three losses in three matches. Despite battling hard in each game, Scotland conceded late goals that cost them points.

They lost 3-2 to Poland with a goal in the 90+7th minute, fell 2-1 to Portugal after an 88th-minute strike, and succumbed to Croatia 2-1, conceding in the 70th minute. This series of narrow defeats has left Scotland with zero points at the bottom of the group. They will need a significant effort to climb even one spot in the standings.

In contrast, things are going well for Portugal. They remain unbeaten in this Nations League edition. Though each match was challenging, Portugal secured narrow 2-1 wins over both Croatia and Scotland. A few days ago, they convincingly beat Poland 3-1. Portugal currently tops the table with nine points, three points clear of second place.

A win in this game would secure their spot in the UEFA Nations League quarterfinals. Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored three goals in three matches, making him the second-highest scorer in the competition.

Prediction: 1-3
