Scotland vs Slovakia Prediction & Betting tips
In group B2 of the Nations League, Scotland will be visited by Slovakia in Glasgow. Of course, both countries would like to be promoted to group A in the long term, although they currently have different priorities.
Scotland:
In recent years there has been very little to enjoy for the Scottish football fans, but last Thursday they could finally cheer again. The British won in the European Championship playoffs after penalties from Israel, which puts them just one game away from participating in the European Championship. Next month, the all-decisive squatter against Serbia is on the program in Belgrade. “This is our chance to make history,” said coach Steve Clarke.
Scotland, which was last present at a major tournament in 1998, has already focused on the game against Serbia – the two Nations League games against Slovakia and the Czech Republic are in fact nothing more than warm-ups for that thriller. So there is a good chance that The Tartan Army will rotate fully to keep everyone fit and happy. However, Clarke does not have many options, because with Kieran Tierney, Ryan Christie and Oliver Burke he has to miss three key players anyway. Clarke, on the other hand, would like to maintain the good form of his team. Scotland has already been unbeaten six times in a row.
Slovakia:
Football-loving Slovakia has also been delighted for several days. The country also won on penalties against Ireland on Thursday evening, so it may try in and against Northern Ireland next month to get a starting ticket for the European Championship. A tough, but certainly not impossible task.
Slovakia is in fact in the same boat as Scotland. The focus is already on the game against Northern Ireland, so national coach Pavel Hapal sees this Nations League game as a kind of glorified exhibition match. That may offer opportunities for Feyenoord striker Robert Bozenik, who is certainly not doing badly at De Valken with four goals in eleven international matches. Star player Milan Skriniar recently tested positive for corona and will therefore not be present anyway.
