Poland vs Scotland: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips | Footy Accumulators

The recent history between the two sides technically favours Poland, although sub-context is important when analysing the recent meetings between the two sides. As mentioned, Poland won the most recent meeting between the two sides in the first group game. Although Poland are unbeaten in their last four against Steve Clarke’s side, the three remaining games have ended in a draw.

Poland are yet to win at home in this competition, and the pre-European Championships in the summer was the last time the hosts recorded a home victory. Overall, including friendlies and the Nations League, Poland have won three of their previous five on home soil, meaning a 60% win rate in the calendar year of 2024. Before the summer, Poland recorded three consecutive victories at home against Turkey, Ukraine and Estonia respectively.

Their last home game in this competition brought the hosts their only point at home as the spoils were shared in a 3-3 draw with Croatia. In their most recent game, however, they were subjected to a 5-1 humiliating defeat at the hands of Portugal in which Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brace. Poland are winless in their previous four games in the Nations League.

Scotland have the same record in this competition as Poland, with one win, one draw and three losses – which they suffered at the start of the campaign. Scotland, though have shown great determination in their losses, having only lost by a single goal in all three losses against Poland, Portugal and Croatia, respectively. Excluding the European Championships, Scotland have only won once away from home, which was against Gibraltar and have suffered defeats to the likes of the Netherlands and drawing against Georgia.

In their most recent away fixture, they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to Croatia, where Andrej Kramaric completed the comeback win for Croatia after Ryan Christie had given Scotland the lead inside 32 minutes. In their most recent game, Scotland secured a priceless victory over Croatia in the reverse fixture, thanks to a late goal from Aston Villa’s John McGinn.
