Portugal are warm favourites to leave Hampden Park with a victory, with Roberto Martinez aiming to win the latest Nations League with a talented squad of players. This is a hugely experienced group of players, with Cristiano Ronaldo well over the 200-cap mark and he’s likely to be popular as an anytime scorer bet on a Bet Builder.
Liverpool’s Diogo Jota and Chelsea’s Joao Felix will also hope to be given an opportunity, with Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva two world-class operators in midfield. Perhaps the biggest criticism you can level at this team is that they have a high average age although the Portuguese are still likely to be a popular bet to win the game.
Scotland did come from two goals down against Poland to draw level before losing the game 3-2, with Scott McTominay then giving the Tartan Army some cheer by scoring early in Lisbon before the team were eventually beaten. However, Portugal to win to nil could be the bet considering that they are likely to be possession-based.
The visitors are likely to be tough-tackling, with McTominay, Ryan Christie and Billy Gilmour possible yellow card magnets, with a 3-0 or 4-0 win in favour of Portugal looking like the right sort of bet on the correct score market. Goalkeeper Craig Gordon could be in for a busy night and he’s been shipping plenty of goals for Hearts this term.
