Croatia vs Scotland Prediction & Picks - UEFA Nations League
by Tyler Doty | in Soccer Picks
One Nations League match after another. Croatia have a real shot at the title in Group 1 of League A. Admittedly, they got off to a losing start against Portugal (2-1). But they bounced back to beat Poland (1-0). This put them in 2nd place in their group. Zlatko Dalic's team are aiming to maintain their position and reach the quarter-finals of the European competition. They will be the favorites on Matchday 3. Croatia will host Scotland this Saturday at 12:00 pm EST, at Zagreb's Stadion Maksimir.
Their next opponents have had a much tougher time of it on their Nations League debut. Scotland are still without a point from their first 2 matches. After losing to Poland (2-3), they were unable to improve on their 2-1 defeat by Portugal. Steve Clarke's men already have their backs against the wall in their Nations League group. They'll be hard-pressed to break the deadlock at the end of the first leg. They face another ambitious nation, intent on putting themselves in the best possible position for the rest of the competition.

Our Croatia vs Scotland Prediction
Croatia are firmly in the hunt for a place in the quarter-finals of the Nations League. However, the Croatian national team must make their status clear on Matchday 3. If they are to secure their place in the top 2 of this group, Zlatko Dalic's team must not miss out when they host Scotland. Their next opponents have yet to pick up a single point in this Nations League. A situation which will likely be further complicated with a trip to Zagreb.
Our prediction for Croatia vs Scotland: victory for Croatia!
