19:45 Tuesday

Scotland and Portugal meet for the second time in League A Group 1 of the Nations League.

 

Scotland vs Portugal Prediction

Scotland fell to a 2-1 loss in Croatia last time out to extend their winless run to seven matches.

The Tartan Army have now lost their last four. Portugal made it three wins from three in the UEFA Nations League as they defeated Poland 3-1 in Warsaw last week.

Portugal should have what it takes to claim another three points but Scotland won’t make things easy for Roberto Martinez’s side.

Score Prediction: Scotland 1-2 Portugal
