Scotland vs Spain Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Euro Cup Qualifiers on Tuesday, 28 March 2023.
Spain will head into this match following a defeat against Morocco in the 2022 World Cup pre-quarter fixture in penalties. It was a big surprise to see them facing the knockout in penalties, that too without scoring one out of three taken shoots.
Going on, they will be hoping for a fresh and different start at their new stage of competitive outings, Euro qualfiers. The team has already been considered as the favorites of Group A which consists of teams like Norway, Scotland, Cyprus and Georgia.
By the looks of things, they might have an easy test in the group rounds. However, we are not inclining to think so considering the World Cup exit of Spain. To the Spanish favor, Scotland is having an inconsistent form and will face them on Tuesday following a two-match winless streak.
They have met just thrice since 2000. Spain was unbeatn in all those three matches.
Their most recent meeting was in a Euro Cup fixture 2011, and Spain sealed a 3-1 victory in that match.
We are counting on Spain to seal a win here. Scotland have won the past three home fixtures but their opponents were weak European outfits like Armenia, Ireland etc.
Spain, who have won against teams like Portugal, Switzerland on the road before their World Cup run, does look favorable to win this match comfortably.
Their total four head to head clashes at this stadium had goals over 2.5 ft. Their most recent match-up, a 2010 Euro qualifier outing, ended in a 2-3 ft score. Thus, we expect an over 2.5 display here.
All their four h2h clashes at this stadium saw the landing of both teams to score option. Scotland, who have scored goals in the past 8 home matches, does look capable of scoring here.
Scotland will have a tough task on Tuesday while facing this Spanish side, which has some world class players in possession.
We like to back Spain to win at 1.67 odds as the main betting option for this match. For the second tip, we like to place the both teams to score option at 2.00 odds.
