Scotland vs Poland Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | UEFA Nations League 2024-25

The Tartan Army lock horns against the Eagles to kickstart their Nations League campaign.

28th-ranked Poland to take on 48th Ranked Scotland at Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow. Both teams look forward to commencing their UEFA Nations League campaign with a win and cementing their position at the summit of the group.

The Scotland national team will be deeply disappointed after failing to secure a single win in the recently concluded UEFA Euro 2024. They faced a challenging group featuring Germany, Switzerland and Hungary, ultimately losing two matches and drawing one. Their goal-scoring woes were evident as they managed to score only two goals while conceding seven throughout the tournament.

However, they are now looking to turn to a new page as they prepare to face Poland in their upcoming UEFA Nations League fixture. Scotland find itself in a difficult group alongside Poland, Croatia and Portugal. Only a miracle would see them advance to the next round of the Nations League.

The team is determined to make the most of their group-stage matches in the coming games. Manager Steve Clarke will be aiming to ensure that Scotland emerge as one of the dark horses of the tournament.

Poland were one of the teams eliminated early in UEFA Euro 2024. However, their performances still drew significant attention, particularly after their final group stage match. Despite suffering two consecutive defeats against Austria and the Netherlands, Poland surprised many by holding France to a 1-1 draw in their last group game.

This unexpected result saw the Eagles securing a point against one of the tournament favourites, showcasing their resilience and ability to compete at a high level. Looking ahead to their upcoming fixture against Scotland in the UEFA Nations League, Poland are eager to secure as many points as possible and strengthen their defence. With formidable opponents like Croatia & Portugal also in the group, Poland know the importance of performing well and making every opportunity count.
