THERE might not be much of an appetite for an international match at Hampden Park tonight but Steve Clarke’s side must pick up the pieces of another failed World Cup qualification attempt and get their Nations League campaign off to a winning start against the 92nd ranked team in the globe, Armenia.
This competition might represent Scotland’s best chance of reaching Euro 2024 with three places up for grabs via this route. The Scots are in a group where they should be aiming for top spot, so it’s imperative that they pick up three points this evening otherwise they’ll be up against it from the off.
The Armenians took their chance against a lacklustre Ireland to start Group B1 with a win. It’s hard to know how much to read to in to that result given the sorry state of the Irish team at the moment but it was still a huge deal for the Armenians who were skelped 9-0 by Norway on their previous outing. That was the second time they’d been hit for nine in the space of three years after Italy thumped them 9-1 in 2019.
Scotland should win at 4/11 but the way results have been going in these Nations League games it might be better to steer clear of the outright markets and take a look at corners instead. Despite going down 1-0 Ireland won the corner count 6-2 and had the better of most of the match stats. Scotland should expect to enjoy most of the possession at Hampden and look a good bet to beat the -3 corner handicap at 11/10.
The aforementioned Republic of Ireland host a crestfallen Ukraine who of course ultimately lost out on Europe’s final World Cup spot on Sunday. Ireland need to be opposed at 11/8. The Ukrainians can be backed on the Asian Handicap 0.0, +0.5 at just over 4/5 (1.830).
