Prediction: 0-1
Scotland
AEK Arena will host Friday’s EURO 2024 qualifier between Cyprus and Scotland, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Cyprus do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team losing each of their first three group games and they must be low on confidence ahead of the visit of Scotland. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but this fact has not persuade us to bet on Temur Ketsbaia’s troops.
The Scotts, meanwhile, have been impressive in Group A, with the team aiming to keep their 100% record in the EURO 2024 qualifiers intact. Scotland are more of a team than Cyprus and we predict that the visitors are going to prove their worth on the field. Newcastle United man Elliot Anderson has received a call-up after committing his future to Scotland, while Greg Taylor, Anthony Ralston, Liam Cooper, and Dominic Hyam have been omitted. Both Che Adams and Scott McKenna are back to the squad.
Highlighted Team (Scotland):
Despite being part of United Kingdom Scotland participate in football competitions as an independent country. The Scots qualified for the 1950 FIFA World Cup finals, but the SFA eventually withdrew their entry as they were not British champions. Four years later Scotland national football team participated at the showpiece tournament in Switzerland, but they were eliminated in the group stages.
Scotland booked their place at the FIFA World Cup on eight occasions, but they have not played a match at the finals of the major tournament since 1998. On the other hand, the Scotts participated at both Euro 1992 and Euro 1996, but they failed to qualify for the knockout stages at the tournaments in Sweden and England respectively. A number of Premier League stars played for the Scotland national football team in the past and Jim Baxter, Hughie Gallacher, John Greig, Jimmy Johnstone, Billy McNeill, Bobby Murdoch, Archie Gemmill and Lawrie Reilly are the footballers who made more than 50 appearances for Scotland, with Alan Hutton and Scott Brown joining the list recently.
The Scotts recorded their biggest win back in February 23, 1901, with the team rolling over Ireland 11-0. The team suffered their biggest defeat against Uruguay (0-7) in June, 1954. Gordon Strachan’s team welcome their opponents at Hampden Park.
