Scotland vs Czech Republic Predictions Betting Tips & Palpite

Scotland vs Czech Republic
UEFA Nations League
Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2024
Starts at 19pm UK / 45pm CET
Location: Hampden Park.

Israel and Slovakia have effectively dropped out of the race for the top spot, which would give them a ticket to League A. For now, the battle is just between Steve Clarke's men and the engines.

Bearing in mind that the two face each other at Hampden Park this Wednesday, the confrontation is practically decisive, especially with either of the two teams separated by a single point.

As such, we could certainly anticipate a fierce confrontation, and both teams would be willing to fight to the bitter end.

Considering both teams' form, their desperation, and the reverse game (a three-goal thriller, with both teams hitting the back of the net), we anticipate another goalscoring match on Wednesday.

• The last match ended in a 1-2 away win for Clarke's men. The game had taken place just a month ago.

Scotland v Czech Republic: Prediction

Andrew Robertson and his boys had managed a 1-0 victory at home in the last round against Slovakia. In a very disputed game, the hosts scored the victory after a goalless first half.

Meanwhile, the Locomotives recorded a 1-2 away win last week against Israel. The visitors scored their two early goals in each half, although the home team hit one in 56^º minute – I couldn’t find one more.

As things stand, both teams are in good shape. Clarke's men have won six of their previous seven games and are unbeaten in the past 12 months.

At home, the last defeat was in September 2019 and, since then, they have been registering a series of victories in these matches, except for a single game.

On the other hand, their opponent had won three of their previous four games overall and had scored two or more goals in nine of their previous twelve games.

Along the way, they had a winning streak throughout 2024 and also scored two or more goals in each of those matches.

And finally, previous h2h matchups were also high-scoring games.

With all these factors in mind, both teams are expected to score on Wednesday, especially with promotion to Liga A at stake.
