Prediction published on 18/09/2022, 22:10  by Daniel Ngulu in UEFA Nations League Predictions

The two leading nations in League B, Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League, Scotland and Ukraine will face off, as the competition returns. Ukraine leads the group on seven points and Scotland are second with six points. Hosts Scotland blew away Armenia 4-1 away from home in their last game in this group, that being their second win in five matches. Both wins have been against the same opposition and four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Scotland have failed to score in one of the five matches, a 3-0 loss to Republic of Ireland, the second of two losses in the last five games. The first loss in this run was inflicted at home by the same opponents they face here, in a World Cup qualification match, and they will be keen to avoid a repeat. The Scots have one clean sheet in the last five matches and have conceded two or more in three of the five games.

Ukraine takes to this game a run of three unbeaten matches, the most recent being a 1-1 draw with Republic of Ireland. They’ve only lost once in their last five matches – a 1-0 reverse at the hands of Wales in a World Cup qualifier. That was the only time they failed to score in the last five matches but they have three wins in the five matches. Twice in the last three games, they’ve kept clean sheets and they have scored three times in two of their last five matches, one of these being against Scotland in an away game. Two times in the last five games, their matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Ukraine are becoming well accustomed to playing away from home, and they have only lost once in the last eight away games.
