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 increased recently. She became a participant in both of the last Euro draws, and managed to make it directly to the final tournament, and also won in 2023 in Spain. The Tartans fought all the way to the playoffs for the right to play in the World Cup, and an hour ago they won their group in the League of Nations, 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 playoffs. off And in the fall, the mountaineers confirm their status as outsiders 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, receiving the chosen ones, they held to 0:0. However, this has changed little – the Scots remain last, and the defeat will finally register in last place.

Croatia

The national team under Dalich produced the best results in its short but glorious history. First, in 2018, it was even possible to reach the final of the world championship. At the next World Cup, the renewed team was able to win the bronze medal, and the team finished the last League of Nations tournament, losing the decisive match for the trophy on penalties to the Spaniards. But it was not possible to reach the playoffs at the Euros, and this is an absolute failure. Even if there was something unlucky: both Albania and Italy were compared on minutes added to the matches. So in the fall, Modrych and company are trying to rehabilitate themselves. A lot is achieved: lost in the opening match in Portugal, then they beat both Poland and Scotland. And only in the final round did the team draw 3:3 with the Croats.

Statistics of personal meetings

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

Forecast

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