Scotland vs Croatia Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

This game is massive for both teams. Scotland will be keen to pick up their first victory in the Nations League in this game while Croatia will be looking to go top of the group with a win here - battling Portugal for top spot heading into the final game.

Scotland Preview

Scotland Predicted Lineup - Craig Gordon; Andrew Robertson, Grant Hanley, John Souttar, Anthony Ralston; Kenny McLean, Billy Gilmour; Ben Doak, Scott McTominay, Ryan Christie; Che Adams

Scotland sit bottom of League A Group One having picked up just one point in four games. That point in their last game in a 0-0 draw against Portugal. They are yet to win a game.

Not only this but they have only scored four goals and conceded seven. This will need to change if they are to claim victory in this game.

Croatia Preview

Croatia Predicted Lineup - Dominik Livaković; Joško Gvardiol, Martin Erlić, Josip Šutalo; Borna Sosa, Petar Sučić, Luka Modrić, Ivan Perišić; Andrej Kramarić, Igor Matanović, Martin Baturina

Croatia have had a good campaign in the Nations League thus far. They have claimed seven points from four games placing them firmly in second place. If they are to test Portugal and go top though they will need a win in this game.

Similarly to Scotland the Croatia defence hasn’t looked amazing though. They have conceded six goals so far proving they can be broken down. They make up for it going forward though having scored seven so far.
