Portugal vs Scotland Prediction: 8/9/2024

Scotland has struggled on the road in the UEFA Nations League, managing to earn just a single point from 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-flight matches and accumulating seven points from four games, indicating an improvement in their recent form.

Portugal’s last six UEFA Nations League matches have featured two or more goals, making their games fairly exciting. Similarly, Scotland’s recent away matches in this competition have also been high-scoring, with eight of their last ten producing over 2.5 goals. This upcoming clash is expected to follow the same trend.

Despite the potential for goals, it’s rare to see both teams score when Portugal plays at home, with only five of their last 19 home games seeing goals at both ends. Scotland has also shown defensive strength, keeping clean sheets in 11 of their last 17 UEFA Nations League matches.

 

Prediction

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

Prediction: Portugal 4-0 Scotland
