Prediction: 1-1
Iceland
Following a heart-breaking loss to Greece in the UEFA Nations League, Scotland will look to get back on course when they face Iceland in a friendly on Friday evening. The Scotts are seen as favourites to win this warm-up game, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Boss Steve Clark is expected to mix the squad against Iceland after naming 12 players aged under 25.
The Icelanders, on the other hand, are desperate to put an end to their three-game losing run. As both Iceland and Scotland will go for a win in Friday’s encounter, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. You should know that both sides have managed to find the net in each of their last three meetings in all competitions. Speaking of the away team, Real Sociedad forward Orri Oskarsson has been omitted.
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.
