Scotland will face a formidable challenge on Sunday night as they travel to Portugal to take on a star-studded lineup including Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and Bernardo Silva in the Nations League. The Portugal vs Scotland match kick-off is at 19:45 UK Time.
Portugal recently faced off against Croatia in the opening round of the Nations League, which was their primary competitor in the group. Martinez’s team was anticipated to be more active in their game, and they certainly lived up to expectations. The Portuguese proved a formidable force, consistently creating numerous opportunities throughout the game. The Croatians, just like they did at the Euros, adopted a defensive approach, often playing in a more reserved position. However, this did not bring success to the team.
Scotland had a thrilling match against Poland in the first round of the Nations League. It was not anticipated that they would put up much of a fight. The teams engaged in an exciting match, with the initiative frequently shifting between them. The goal scored by the ‘tartan army’ was disallowed due to McTominay’s hand play. The final score was 2:3. A disheartening loss for Steve Clarke’s team. Their performance on the pitch was commendable and they deserved to secure at least one point. However, they ultimately admitted defeat.
