Scotland vs Slovenia Predictions and Betting Tips - UEFA Nations League

Scotland host Slovenia at 19:45 UK on Tuesday 6 October at Hampden Park, ten days after the two drew 0-0 in Ljubljana.

Scotland broke their duck on Saturday with a 2-0 win in North Macedonia, their first goals of the competition. Before that they had gone five matches with one.

How the teams arrive

Scotland's window reads 0-0 in Slovenia, 0-3 at home to Switzerland and the 2-0 in Skopje. Two clean sheets from three puts them joint second of 54 for clean sheet rate, and they are seventh of 54 for fouls at 15 a game. None of their matches has had goals at both ends, which is the joint lowest rate in the competition.

Slovenia lost 2-1 in Switzerland on Saturday, beat North Macedonia 2-0 and drew the goalless one with Scotland. Twelfth of 54 for goals conceded at 0.67 a game and forty-second for shots on target at three, so they are built the same way their hosts are. Seventh for cards at three a game. Team sheets are not confirmed.

Everything leans quietly to the quiet side, which is what two sides with two clean sheets each from three and a goalless first meeting ought to produce.

Match Leaders

Prediction

Scotland are at home, have just won away for the first time in the window and are a fraction short of their price rather than value at it. Slovenia have the better defensive record of the two by a shade.

The read is a low-scoring Scotland win or a draw, with the under and the foul counts the parts of this card with real weight behind them. The goalless first meeting is the better guide than Saturday's 2-0.
