Saturday will bring a new series of games as part of a new selection – for Euro 2024. For the Scottish national team, the fight will begin in their native Glasgow, with Cyprus. Will there be a real fight here, or will it all end with a simple victory for the favorite?
The Scottish national team has been in rather low places for a long time, being considered as a maximum among the middle peasants among the teams. But they managed to break through to the last Euro, however, they limited themselves only to a goalless draw with England with a couple of defeats. The Ukrainians did not let them into the World Cup, moreover, having won in Glasgow. But they just took revenge with them, in the League of Nations, having managed to win the dispute for 1st place in the group and gaining 4 points. On the other hand, this team should not be overestimated – in 2022, for example, they lost 0-3 in Ireland.
The Cyprus national team, it seems, is not devoid of ambition. But a series of defeats and failures is repeated from cycle to cycle. Even last year, within the framework of the League of Nations, playing with rather modest opponents, they managed to win only once, and then at home with kindred Greeks, 1-0. As a result, with 5 points, they again took 4th place in the group – we recall that they managed to avoid falling into division C by winning the play-offs in Estonia a year ago (0-0 away, 2-0 at home). It is not surprising that the mentor changed – the position was entrusted to Temuri Ketsbae, who worked a lot on the island with clubs. Yes, and he has a similar experience, having steered a lot of the national team of his native Georgia.
Football Scotland / Cyprus prediction
Both teams play much better on their fields. Taking into account the fact that the Scottish team is generally stronger, it is worth betting that it will be able to win with a handicap of “-1.5” (odds – 1.82).
