Football - UEFA Nations League
24 September 2022 14:45
The match
Scotland top their Nations League group by two points after beating second placed Ukraine on Wednesday. They have two games remaining and begin with this home game against Ireland, before a final match away to Ukraine, a match to be played in Poland. Scotland know a win here could see them win the group if Ukraine fail to win in Armenia. The Scots had an impressive home win on Wednesday and now need to get some revenge on Ireland. The reverse fixture saw them lose 3-0, their only loss in this group. The other three matches have all been won. The two home games played so far in this group have seen Scotland score five goals and not concede any.
Ireland are in third place with four points, five behind their opponents. Unlike the Scots, they won't want to see Armenia do well against Ukraine. Ireland are only a point clear of the bottom side and host them in their final game. Winning the group is a difficult task but relegation is still a possibility. The home win over Scotland is their only victory in this group to date. Their other three group matches have produced just a single point and one goal scored. Away form has seen them lose in Armenia and draw their match against Ukraine. Only four of their last 24 away internationals have been won, all against lowly ranked teams. Back Scotland to get the win here.
Key Statistics
- Scotland are yet to concede a goal at home in this group.
- Only four of the last 24 Ireland away games has been won.
- Ireland have one point from their two away games in this group.
The bet of our experts
Scotland should have had their confidence boosted massively after beating Ukraine 3-0. They top the group but still have to play Ukraine away from home. They can't afford to drop points at home and should be able to get revenge on Ireland who are continually struggling on the road. A side bet on Scotland to win with under 2.5 goals in the game is also recommended.
