Croatia vs Scotland Predictions

• Scotland have won just one of their last 14 matches
• Five of the six meetings between these two have featured two goals or fewer
• Three of the six meetings between these nations have ended in draws
• Scotland have scored in six of their last seven matches

Scots could be toppled once again

Scotland’s miserable run goes on and this week’s trip to Croatia is unlikely to yield an opening victory in this season’s Nations League.

Steve Clarke’s side have lost their opening two fixtures in the competition, to make it one win from their last 14 matches, and a third loss is predicted against a Croatia outfit who have lost just one of their last nine matches on home soil. 

Croatia beat Poland 1-0 last time out, and that doesn’t bode well for a Scotland side who lost 3-2 on home soil to the Poles.

Croatia and Scotland have both lost to Portugal in the opening rounds of this Nations League campaign so a tight contest is expected in Zagreb on Saturday.

The Scots have a decent record in this fixture, winning two of six meetings and drawing three times, but it is hard to see them improving that tally against such a strong opponent.

Croatia to win and both teams to score looks the best course of action from a betting perspective, with a 2-1 scoreline looking a solid option for correct score punters.

In-form McTominay could make his mark

Both teams have scored in five of Scotland’s last six matches and Scott McTominay looks the Scots’ best chance of getting on the scoresheet this week.

McTominay has scored in three of Scotland’s last four matches and the midfielder has scored twice in his last three matches for new club side Napoli.
