Scotland welcome Czech Republic to Hampden Park this week for a League B tussle in the Nations League. The Scots are top of Group 2 with seven points from three games, an unbeaten run that included a 2-1 win in Czech Republic. The visitors are second in the table, a point behind Scotland thanks to wins over Slovakia and Israel. Scotland are on a great run of seven matches unbeaten in all competitions, including a victory in their European Championship play-off against Israel. At home, they are unbeaten in their last five matches, three of those matches seeing them keep a clean sheet. Czech Republic have been superb away from home of late, winning their last three matches with each game featuring both teams scoring. They have played away to Scotland three times before, winning only once. In more recent meetings, Scotland have had the upper hand with two wins and a draw from the last three.

Although Scotland have quality throughout their starting XI, they lack a finisher up front to complement that talent. It often results in low-scoring returns from Scotland games. The Tartan Army have failed to score more than once in their last three home matches. They have also not conceded more than one goal in their last seven games, an emphatic response to pressure following back-to-back four-goal defeats. Czech Republic are a tricky side to host and have scored at least twice in eight of their previous 11 matches. We can see them posing the Scots problems and coming away with a draw. Back a stalemate.
