Betting on Scotland
Scotland is getting better, although it has nothing to spare. The victory against Cyprus in front of its home crowd served to give way to a statistic: the team had never won in the first match of a European Championship qualifier.
The Scottish side is turning to its Premier League stars, such as Liverpool’s left-back Andy Robertson, Manchester United’s star midfielder Scott McTominay, and Southampton’s goal scorer Che Adams. Still, Turkey crushed the team’s dream of returning to the World Cup in the 2022 play-offs. Either way, Scotland is determined to put up a fight, and it has won four of the last seven matches it has played.
In fact, the team has great scoring power: it scored in six of those seven matches, with an average of more than 2 goals per game.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Angus Gunn, Kieran Tierney, Grant Hanley, Ryan Porteous; Andrew Robertson, Stuart Armstrong, Ryan Jack, Callum McGregor, Aaron Hickey; John McGinn, Che Adams.
Betting on Spain
For Spain, it is not just the beginning of a new cycle. Instead, and for more than a decade now, the bar has been raised for this team, especially since the 2010 World Cup win. However, Spain’s last two World Cup experiences ended up being a failure, despite the very high expectations set on the team.
Now, Luis de la Fuente’s time as coach has begun, and he will try to do well and qualify for a tournament he has won three of the four times he has gotten to the final match.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Dani Carvajal, Nacho, Aymeric Laporte, Alejandro Balde; Gavi, Rodri, Dani Ceballos; Nico Williams, Iago Aspas, Dani Olmo.
JefeBet Prediction
Scotland has been showing its characteristic solidity and tactical discipline, but offer no guarantee of going one step further in terms of risks, and this conservatism will play against a voracious Spain team that needs to regain confidence. De la Fuente’s team will win with authority.
Prediction: Spain wins 2 to 0.
