Our prediction for the match Poland vs Scotland
“The Kadra”, as at the World Cup, made it to the Euro only through the play-offs, and knocked out Wales only due to a penalty shoot-out won by Szczęsny in Wales. Still, Lewandowski and the company, being already at the tournament in Germany, disappointed – they finally played a 1-1 draw in the struggle with France after a couple of defeats. Similarly, “the Tartans”, with 1 point after 3 matches, performed, also not reaching the play-offs.
Speaking about the Nations League, the teams played against each other in the 1st round – the Poles won with a 3-2 score in Glasgow. Still, then there were defeats to the Croatians and Portuguese, and only a home meeting with “the Checkered Ones”, which took place in October, gave an opportunity to achieve a draw (3-3). On Friday, there was only a goal of prestige at the end of the game against with “the Chosen Ones” – the team lost with a 1-5 result.
Steve Clarke’s wards completely failed the first lap. They, after the failure with Lewandowski and the company, lost to both the Portuguese and the Croatians. And only the 4th round, which took place at the home arena, brought a match where Ronaldo and his teammates did not score. One more home battle, this time the fifth match of the Nations League with “the Checkered Ones”, brought a victory, which is characterized by an advantage for the entire second half.
