Scotland – Croatia. Forecast and announcement for the League of Nations match

On November 15, Hampden Park will host a match of the 5th round of the Nations League, in which the Scottish national team will meet the Croatian national team. The match will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.

Scotland

The team has clearly added recently. She became a participant in both of the last Euro draws, and managed to make it directly to the final tournament, also winning in 2023 in Spain. The Tartans fought all the way to the playoffs for the right to play at the World Cup, and a year ago they won their group in the Nations League of Division B. But at the Euro itself, Steve Clark’s wards were limited to one point both times: a draw and two defeats, and zero chances for the play-offs office And even in autumn, the mountaineers confirm their status as an outsider of the quartet. The first round brought only defeats, even though they fought with everyone: 2:3 with Poland, 1:2 with the Portuguese and Croatians. But in October, when receiving the chosen ones, they stood at 0:0. However, it did not change much – the Scots remain last, and the defeat will finally be recorded in the last place.

Croatia

The national team under Dalich produced the best results in its short but glorious history. First, in 2018, it was possible to reach the finals of the World Cup. At the next World Cup, the already renewed team managed to win bronze, and the team ended the previous League of Nations draw by losing the decisive match for the trophy on penalties to the Spaniards. But it was not possible to reach the playoffs at the Euro, and this is an absolute failure. Even there, they were unlucky in some way: both Albania and Italy equalized in minutes added to the matches. So in the fall, Modrych and the company are trying to rehabilitate. A lot comes out: after conceding in the opening match in Portugal, they then beat both Poland and Scotland. And only in the final round at home did the team draw 3:3 with the Croats.

Statistics of personal meetings

The history of the relationship is interesting: it started with three draws, after which the Scots won twice. But with their victories in 2021 and 2024, the checkered team restored parity.

Forecast

Bookmakers are skeptical about the hosts. Let’s agree: experienced guests will beat the outsider at the decisive moment (coefficient – 2.12).
