Scotland vs Curaçao: Team News and Expert Analysis
This generation of Scots has finally made its mark. They played in the last two European Championships. Last year, they won their World Cup qualifying group—collecting thirteen points in six matches and finishing ahead of Denmark in the race for first place. Everything was decided by a 4-2 victory in their direct clash in the final round. However, in March friendlies, they lost to both Japan and Côte d'Ivoire.
The Curaçao national team rewrote its history. They made use of the opportunities provided by the World Cup being held in North America—which removed three of the region’s top teams from qualifying—and the expansion of the tournament. As a result, by winning their groups in both the first and second rounds (leaving not only Bermuda but also Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica behind), they earned the right to debut at this level. However, in March friendlies, they lost to both China (0-2) and Australia (1-5). The architect of that success, Advocaat, left due to family reasons, but he has now returned!
The European side averages 1.8 goals scored and concedes 1.2 per game. The Caribbean team scores 1.6 goals on average and concedes 1.3.
