UEFA Nations League: Scotland vs Croatia – Match Preview and Predicted Lineups
Scotland faces a crucial clash against Croatia in the UEFA Nations League tonight at Hampden Park, with their survival in League A hanging by a thread. The stakes are high as Steve Clarke’s men sit at the bottom of Group A1, three points away from safety. A loss could seal their relegation, while a win or draw may not suffice if other results don't go their way.
Scotland's Struggles
Despite a spirited 0-0 draw against Portugal in their last outing, Scotland has lacked consistency throughout the tournament. Injuries to key players like Che Adams and Scott McTominay have further compounded their challenges. Clarke’s squad will rely heavily on the creativity of John McGinn and the defensive stability of Kieran Tierney to keep their hopes alive.
Croatia's Dominance
On the other hand, Croatia comes into the match brimming with confidence. Zlatko Dalić’s side, led by the evergreen Luka Modrić and midfield maestro Mateo Kovačić, aims to solidify their position in League A. Croatia has historically dominated Scotland, with recent victories at Euro 2020 and last month’s reverse fixture.
