Scotland vs Belgium Prediction & Betting tips
For the Belgian national team is next Friday, the first test match after the World Cup on. Coach Roberto Martinez’s team meet Scotland in Glasgow. The “Bravehearts” missed the big tournament last summer and want to be represented at the European Championships in two years time again. However, in four out of the last five friendly matches, the Scots were eliminated as losers. Both nations could use the game on Friday evening to try out their personnel and tactics.
Scotland:
The national team of Scotland is next to the English national team, the oldest national team in the world. Nevertheless, the “Bravehearts” since the 1998 World Cup in any major tournament were no longer represented. They narrowly failed in qualifying for the last World Cup in Russia. The goal of the Scots is now to reach the finals of the European Championship 2020. With Hampden Park Scotland is one of the venues for the tournament, which takes place in twelve European cities.
Since February of this year, Alex McLeish is a new coach on the sidelines of the Scottish selection. However, the success has not been achieved so far. In four games under his leadership, there was only one victory against Hungary. The games against Costa Rica, Peru and Mexico were all lost without a match. The weakness of his team is therefore the offensive. With left-back Andrew Robertson, the Scottish national team has been a new captain for a few days. He will lead his country against Belgium for the first time as a leader on the field. Tom Cairney and center-back Scott McKenna and Jack Hendry are injured on Friday. The last three matches against Belgium lost to Scotland.
Belgium:
Belgium played a strong World Cup last summer but was denied the “Rode Duivels” again. In Russia, they convinced with a strong offensive and scored 16 goals in the tournament. After the lost semi-final against France, Belgium secured third place against England. Under coach Roberto Martinez, the Belgians developed a winning mentality. Except for the defeat to France, the last eight games were all won.
After the World Cup, the Belgian national team completed on Friday the first test match. In Hampden Park the “Rode Duivels” meet Scotland. Roberto Martinez could then give some players a chance that did not get that much action time at the tournament in Russia. With Timothy Castagne, Birger Verstraete, Hans Vanaken and Leandro Trossard he nominated four players who could make their debut on Friday for their country. Due to the higher quality of the squad, the guest is in favorites against Scotland in terms of betting odds.
