Portugal vs Scotland Prediction & Betting Tips - UEFA Nations League

Prediction published on 08/09/2024, 06:10 by Steve Ashfield in UEFA Nations League Predictions

These two countries had contrasting first matches in this Nations League group. Portugal had a home win over Croatia, while Scotland were beaten 3-2 at Hampden Park by Poland. Now they face each other in Lisbon. Let's take a closer look at this match between A Seleção and the Tartan Army.

The rules in the Nations League have seen some changes this year. The top two in each group in League A will qualify for the quarter-finals. This is an A1 match and Portugal will be in a great position if they can get a second win.

Scotland are the only country from the UK that are in League A this season. Another loss here will see them facing a battle to avoid either finishing third and going into the relegation play-offs or bottom and being automatically relegated.

As you will soon read, the Scots are not in the best of form at present and face a tough battle here to even get a point. Can they manage to do that? You'll find all of the details below.

Portugal - Scotland: Form Analysis

Portugal beat Croatia 2-1 at home in their opening Nations League game with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the winner. That ended a run of three games without a win and failing to score in any of them.

They won the first ever Nations League in 2019 but have failed to get past the group stage since then. With three points in the bag already, they will certainly be confident of making it into the last eight this season.

Portugal have only been beaten once at home since 2022.

In the Nations League, seven of their ten home games have ended in victory with only France and Spain beating them. Only one home game has been lost since September 2022 with 13 games played.

Scotland have been struggling with their form for some time now. Only one of their last 13 internationals has been won and that was against Gibraltar. They failed to make it out of their group in the Euros this summer.

Thursday saw them suffer a heartbreaking 3-2 home loss to Poland. They fought back from 2-0 down to level but then conceded a 97th minute goal giving Poland the three points. They've only ever won one away Nations League game.

Portugal & Scotland Squad Analysis

Portugal won their opening game and could well rotate their squad for this match. Joao Neves and Nelson Semedo both came on at half time on Thursday and may well start this game against Scotland.

Roberto Martinez has a strong squad so he does have the luxury of being able to make a few changes without weakening the strength of his starting line-up. Francisco Trincao and Pedro Goncalves are also in contention to begin the match.

Scotland have several selection problems for this game.

Scotland are already in trouble in this group and a loss here would see them facing a relegation battle rather than reaching the quarter-finals. Coach Steve Clarke has some selection problems ahead of this trip to Portugal.

Since the Euros they have lost their captain Callum McGregor who has retired from international duty. Kieran Tierney and Che Adams are both out injured which doesn't help their cause at all.

Ben Doak and Ryan Gauld both made their debuts for Scotland against Poland on Thursday. Lawrence Shankland and Lyndon Dykes are also in with a chance of playing against Portugal.

Our Portugal vs Scotland Prediction

Portugal will want to make it two wins out of two in this Nations League group. A win over Scotland will put them in a tremendous position as far as qualifying for the quarter-finals of this tournament.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still in excellent form and Portugal are a difficult team to beat on home soil. Scotland nearly drew with Poland but lost to a 97th minute goal. They continue to be in poor form and have selection problems. Our main Portugal v Scotland prediction is Portugal to win and lead at both half and full time.
