Match Preview for Portugal vs Scotland
Portugal started their bid to repeat their 2018/19 success in the UEFA Nations League (UNL) with a 2-1 win over Croatia on matchday one. As the highest-ranked team (#8) in their group, they hope to reach the final four for the first time since winning UEFA’s newest international tournament.
Scotland lost 3-2 to Poland in their UNL opener after two penalties, including a 97th-minute winner. Scotland’s top-tier debut was disappointing, so it was a harsh welcome to League A for them. However, the Scottish supporters have grown accustomed to this recently, as their team has only won one of their last 13 international matches.
Predicted Starting Lineups for Portugal vs Scotland
Portugal: Costa; Dalot, Dias, Inacio, Mendes; Silva, Fernandes, Vitinha; Neto, Ronaldo, Leao;
Scotland: Dunn; Ralston, Hanley, McKenna, Robertson; Gilmour, McLean; McGinn, McTominay, Christie; Dykes;
