Scotland vs Portugal Tips

Tip 1

McTominay has hit this line in two of Scotland’s three Nations League fixtures, producing four efforts on goal during this period.

Defence has never been Portugal’s strong suit and Scotland will fancy their chances of getting off quite a few attempts at Hampden Park on Tuesday, with the 27-year-old looking to replicate club form for his country.

Tip 2

Scotland haven’t won in seven matches, during which time Portugal have already beaten them in this competition to the tune of a 2-1 win.

Despite their struggles, Steve Clarke’s men haven’t had much difficulty in finding the net, scoring in all three Nations League matches so far, failing to find the goal just once in their last eight games.

Scotland Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Tartan Army’s unbeaten run was extended to seven matches when Croatia came from a goal behind to win 2-1 in Zagreb – a defeat which leaves them pointless at the foot of League A Group 1.

Scotland have no fresh concerns from their latest outing.

Scotland Predicted XI: Gordon; Ralston, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson; McLean, Gilmour; Doak, McTominay, Christie; Adams.

Portugal Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Meanwhile, Portugal dispatched Poland by three goals to one to extend their stay at the top of the leaderboard by three points.

There are no fresh injuries or suspensions for the visitors either.

Portugal Predicted XI: Costa; Dalot, Dias, Veiga, Mendes; Silva, R. Neves; Jota, Fernandes, Leao; Ronaldo.
