Portugal vs Scotland Prediction: 3/9/2024

Scotland has struggled significantly in their UEFA Nations League away games, managing to secure only a few points out of a possible 18 and failing to score in five of those matches. In contrast, Portugal has been strong at home, winning seven of their last ten top-tier home fixtures, and their recent form, with seven points from four matches, suggests an improvement.

Portugal’s recent games in the UEFA Nations League have been fairly entertaining, with five of their last six matches featuring two or more goals. Similarly, Scotland’s away matches in the second tier have also been high-scoring, with eight of their last ten games exceeding 2.5 goals. Therefore, this upcoming match is expected to be another goal-filled encounter.

However, it’s worth noting that both teams scoring has been relatively uncommon when Portugal plays at home, occurring in only five of their last 19 matches. On the other hand, Scotland has shown defensive solidity in the UEFA Nations League, keeping clean sheets in 11 of their last 17 top-flight games.

 

Prediction

Portugal has been dominant at home, winning the majority of their last 20 UEFA Nations League matches at their stadium and scoring at least three goals in each of their last six home games.

Prediction: Portugal 4 : 0 Scotland.
