Croatia vs Scotland Match Preview

Croatia opened their 2024/25 UEFA Nations League campaign with a narrow 2-1 away defeat to Portugal but displayed resilience in their round two matches of the competition as Croatia beat Poland 1-0 at home. The victory against Poland ended Croatia's winless streak in all competitions, and they will be hoping to build on this momentum.

On the other hand, Scotland's form continues to be worse, having gone six matches in all competitions without a win. Scotland crashed out in the group stage of the Euro 2024 and have lost their opening two consecutive UEFA Nations League matches. They suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Poland and were also beaten 2-1 by Portugal on the road. 

Prediction: Steve Clarke’s men are looking to bounce back from defeats to Poland and Portugal in their opening fixtures, while Croatia will be hoping to build on their last 1-0 win over Poland. Both teams have looked excellent in terms of scoring goals, so we predict Croatia to win and both teams to score in the match.

Poland vs Portugal Match Preview

Poland will face Portugal in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday, 13 October, in an exciting game of the 2nd international break of the season. 

Cristiano Ronaldo

Poland has endured difficult form since their early group-stage exit from the Euro 2024, although they began their UEFA Nations League with an opening 3-2 win over Scotland thanks to a late penalty goal scored by Nicola Zalewski in the 97th minute. However, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat in round two against Croatia.

On the other hand, Portugal has started their Nations League campaign in good form, as they have won their opening match. They started the campaign with a 2-1 win over Croatia, with Ronaldo netting his 900th career goal in the match. Portugal made it two consecutive wins with another 2-1 win over Scotland. 

Prediction: Portugal has been brilliant since the start of the Nations League, and we expect them to build on the momentum and get a win in this match. We also predict Ronaldo to score in this match, as he has scored in each of his appearances in the Nations League this campaign.
