Scotland vs Croatia Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Scots have secured just a single point so far.
Scotland will host Croatia in their fifth UEFA Nations League fixture and will hope to end their campaign on a positive note. The Tartan Army have struggled to put together convincing displays and have ended up on the losing end in three out of four group-stage games. The Scots have faced a significant dip in form and have won just one of eleven games in 2024. However, they will take motivation from their hard-fought draw against Portugal in their last outing.
Croatia on the other hand will be aiming to bolster their place on the table and challenge Portugal for the top spot. They will look to build upon their good run of form and get maximum points in their final group-stage games. The Checkered Ones will rely upon their experienced campaigners to take them over the line in this game.
