On 8 June 2022, Scotland will face Armenia in Glasgow at Hampden Park in the second leg of the UEFA Nations League.

The Scottish team cannot boast overly good results. They have only qualified for a major international tournament once in more than two decades, playing at Euro 2020. The team was close to qualifying for the 2022 World Cup, qualifying from the knockout stages, but suffered a 1:3 defeat to Ukraine in the semi-finals, ultimately failing in the first half. Steve Clarke's men will now be chasing first place in the UEFA Nations League for an extra chance to qualify for Euro 2024 if they fail to do so through classical qualification.

The Armenian team has never played in a major international tournament in their history. They had a great run in the UEFA Nations League and reached the knockout stages for the Euro 2020 tournament but failed to win a place. The Armenians had then made a superb start to qualification for the 2022 World Cup, winning three straight in a row. It seemed certain that the Red-Yellows would be victorious now, but they failed to win their next seven games, finishing just fourth in the group. Armenia started the new UEFA Nations League with a 1:0 win over Ireland.

The Armenian team has made good progress of late, but only in home games. Their away performance is markedly poorer, with three draws and four defeats in their last seven games, by a combined total of 1:19. The Scots are unlikely to be in top form in the upcoming match after losing their chances of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup a week earlier, but they always perform well at home. As a result, we are betting on a Scottish victory with a handicap (-1.5) at about 2.15.

It is unlikely that we will see a high level of scoring activity from the teams in the upcoming match. The Scottish team is a very pragmatic team that rarely beats their opponents. The Armenian team has a poor record in their away matches, evidenced by just one goal scored in their previous seven games (0.14 per game on average). With this in mind, we suggest betting on a total under 2.5 for 1.808.

Che Adams is one of the key players in the current Scotland squad. He appeared in all ten of Tartan's 2022 World Cup qualifying appearances, scoring three goals. The forward has played two seasons in a row for Southampton FC, and his record is also impressive, having scored 16 goals in the previous two league appearances in the EPL. We have the right to expect him to achieve in the upcoming battle, and you can bet on Che Adams' goal at odds of around 2.25.
