Although Scotland look to be in a very strong position to qualify for the Euro 2024 finals, they won’t be taking anything for granted. After all, Spain and Norway are also in this section although the fact that the Scots have beaten both of these opponents is a big advantage and another victory over Cyprus will clearly strengthen their hand.
When the teams met in March, the Cypriots had their fair share of possession and chances and they only trailed by a single goal scored by John McGinn before that late Scott McTominay brace helped put a gloss on the scoreline. At the prices, the Scotland match odds are only suitable for a multiple bet although there are other alternatives.
Scotland have only conceded one goal in four games and that was courtesy of an Erling Haaland penalty in Oslo, with some punters therefore looking to back the Scots to win the game without conceding. It’s also worth considering the correct score market, with a 1-0 or 2-0 win for the visitors looking like the sort of selections that could generate a return.
Similarly, it could be Scott McTominay and John McGinn who provide the magic touch and one can’t underestimate the scoring power of the Manchester United midfielder, with the like of Che Adams and Lyndon Dykes not boasting a particularly strong strike rate for their country. It’s hard to see Cyprus making much of an impact based on evidence so far.
