Croatia vs Scotland Tips

• Both Teams To Score: 10/11 @ bet365
• Che Adams To Score: 4/1 @ bet365

Tip 1

Although Scotland are yet to post a point on the board in the top tier of the competition, it isn’t through a lack of impact or effort.

Steve Clarke’s side have netted three goals in the group across two matches, fighting from two goals down against Poland and unexpectedly striking first in their defeat to Portugal.

In fact, Saturday’s visitors have only failed to score once in their last seven outings, which came in Stuttgart at Euro 2024 when Hungary edged their contest.

Croatia’s clean sheet versus Poland was their first for six games, and considering how their opponents that day are a team who notoriously blow hot and cold, that isn’t saying much about Vatreni’s defence.

Tip 2

Che Adams is in fine goalscoring since switching homebase from Southampton to Turin. The reinvented striker has bagged four in nine for the Serie A outfit, banging in three across his last four appearances.

Scotland’s No.10 was ruled out for both of last month’s clashes and returns to the fold with a point to prove. He admits that he’s yet to reach the heights of his club career with Scotland yet and siding with an extra motivated man at such a price is a chance worthy of taking.

Croatia Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Croatia bounced back from a 2-1 defeat in their Nations League opener against Portugal to edge past Poland in a 1-0 victory – a result which has them second to Roberto Martinez’s side in League A Group 1.

The hosts will have to make do without Josip Stanisic, Lovro Majer and Borna Barisic, who all missed out on a call up due to injuries.

Croatia Predicted XI: Livakovic; Erlic, Caleta-Car, Gvardiol; Jakic, Modric, Kovacic, Sucic, Sosa; Matanovic, Petkovic.
