Portugal vs Scotland Predictions

• Portugal scored 36 goals in ten Euro 2024 qualifiers
• Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 131 goals for Portugal
• Portugal have scored at least three goals in seven of their last ten home fixtures

Selecao set for goal-fest

Portugal’s Euro 2024 campaign may have wilted, but Roberto Martinez’s side kicked off the 2024/25 UEFA Nations League with a win over Croatia and they can cruise to victory against a struggling Scotland side.

The visitors shipped three to Poland on Thursday and have conceded 12 times across their last five matches. All three goals conceded against Poland were avoidable mistakes, and the Selecao have the talent to punish any further defensive mishaps.

The hosts scored 36 times in ten Euro 2024 qualifiers and have scored at least three goals in seven of their last ten at home, so they should bag a few against a vulnerable Tartan Army side.

Ronaldo to lead the way once more

Cristiano Ronaldo could be among the goals again, too. The Portugal captain and talisman scored his 900th career goal against Croatia, and while Martinez has been justifiably criticised for Ronaldo’s continued selection, the Al Nassr player is the focal point in this attacking setup.

He has scored a record 131 international goals and has notched 37 league goals since the start of last season, so he looks a solid anytime goalscorer punt, while he notched ten international goals in Euro 2024 qualifying.
