19:45 Sunday

Scotland have to pick themselves up and dust themselves off after conceding last minute against Poland to lose their opening fixture in the Nations League. 

They turn their attention to Portugal as they head to Lisbon for a difficult task.

Portugal vs Scotland Prediction

Portugal kicked off their UEFA Nations League campaign with a 2-1 home victory over Croatia on Thursday.

Scotland, meanwhile, were beaten by Poland in an entertaining five-goal contest at Hampden Park.

These two sides have not met since a friendly in October 2018, which Portugal won 3-1. In fact, Scotland have not been victorious in this fixture since a 4-1 win in European Championship qualifying, in March 1980.

The hosts should comfortably claim another three points here.

Portugal vs Scotland Bet Builder Tips

Over 2.5 Goals, Scott McTominay Over 0.5 Shots on Target and Cristiano Ronaldo over 2.5 Shots on Target is 12/1 with bet365 at the time of posting.

Portugal have scored at least three in seven of their last 10 home games, while Scotland conceded three against Poland midweek.

Ronaldo is in form after his 900th career goal and will be eager to add more.

He had four shots, two on target against Croatia and he averaged 4.2 shots per 90 at the Euro's.

Scotland has been defensively vulnerable, facing an average of more than six shots on target per group stage game in the Euro's. Ronaldo should get plenty of chances.

Scott McTominay scored and had five shots in Scotland's previous game against Poland, two of which were on target, showing he's a key threat.
