Scotland v Croatia: Key stats

Scotland have lost their latest two meetings with Croatia – including 2-1 in Zagreb last month – after being unbeaten in their first five games against them.

Croatia beat Scotland 3-1 on their last trip to Hampden, when the stadium hosted a Euro 2020 game, but have never won an official away match in Scotland, drawing two before losing 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier in 2013.

Scotland are on their longest winless run at home (six games, losing three) and longest run without a victory in competitive fixtures (10 games, losing six).

Scotland could equal their longest overall winless run, set in 1998 (nine games – D3 L5 currently).

Only Greece (with nine) have won more games across the last two editions of the Nations League than Croatia (W7 D3 L2).

Bosnia (73), Serbia (72) and Israel (69) are the only League A nations to face more goal attempts in this season’s Nations League than Scotland (67).

Croatia have scored in each of their last 14 away games (29 goals) – the longest run in their history.

Ben Doak could make his fifth appearance for Scotland, with only Paul McStay (six) and Willie Henderson (five) making more appearances as a teenager than the 19-year-old winger.

Croatia midfielder Ivan Perisic has been directly involved in three goals in his last two appearances against Scotland (one goal, two assists) but has not scored in 18 Nations League appearances.
