Scotland vs Northern Ireland preview
Scotland were competitive for over an hour in their friendly with the Netherlands on Friday night – before completing falling to pieces.
The substitutions didn’t help Steve Clarke, especially the changes to the back line and that’s something he’ll need to address.
Going forward, they created just as many chances as the Dutch but were lacking a cutting edge and the search for a number nine to lead the line against Germany in the tournament opener goes on.
For Northern Ireland, they’re in a transition phase at the moment but have registered two decent results on the bounce.
Friday’s draw in Romania followed a win over Denmark in qualification last time out – though the Danes had already wrapped up top spot.
The sides last met back in 2015 with the Scots winning 1-0 thanks to a late Christophe Berra goal.

Scotland vs Northern Ireland betting tips
- Scott McTominay to score and Scotland to win at 27/10 – CLAIM HERE
The Manchester United midfielder has been a key part of Steve Clarke’s recent squads, as well as for United in front of goal too.
Should have scored with a close-range header in Amsterdam on Friday and finding himself in great attacking opportunities recently.
Could resume his usual role here and a good price to get on the scoresheet, adding to seven goals in Euro 2024 qualifying last year.
- Scotland to score in both halves at 19/10 – CLAIM HERE
Really need a response after Friday night and with home support, they could do just that.
Minor tweaks in the attacking areas are needed and doing so here can see a good performance and result for the home side.
