Scotland vs Poland Bet Builder Tips

Scott McTominay Over 0.5 Shots on Target, Robert Lewandowski Over 1.5 Shots on Target and Match Result to be a Draw is currently 16/1 with bet365 at the time of publishing.

Scott McTominay has been Scotland's primary goal-scoring threat throughout their Euro 2024 campaign and qualification.

He averaged the most shots for Scotland in Germany and netting an impressive seven goals during the qualifiers.

While he didn't exactly shine in the Euro group stages, he did manage to score one goal, and he'll likely have more opportunities against Poland at home.

Historically, these two sides have been evenly matched, with their last three meetings ending in draws. This should be another closely contested game, as both teams will be eager to secure a win in what could be a crucial fixture in a tough group that also includes Croatia and Portugal.

Scotland have been defensively vulnerable, facing an average of more than six shots on target per group stage game in the Euro's.

They will have to be particularly wary of an in-form Robert Lewandowski, who has already scored four goals in four games in La Liga and will be keen to test Scotland's goalkeeper.
