Spain vs Scotland Betting Tips &— BTTS

At the beginning of this qualification campaign, it was unlikely that Scotland would reach Spain with a perfect winning streak in their first five fixtures.

Over the last few years, the Scots have experienced a revival, and their recent victories against Spain and Norway have placed Steve Clarke’s team on the verge of qualifying for consecutive tournaments for the first time since 1998.

After Scotland achieved a 2-0 victory against Spain earlier this year, the Spanish team has showcased an impressive performance. Luis de la Fuente’s squad triumphed in the Nations League Final against Croatia and secured high-scoring qualification wins against Georgia (1-7) and Cyprus (6-0) during the summer.

When playing on their own turf, the Spanish team has an incredibly strong track record in European qualification matches. It is quite remarkable that since 1995, La Roja has emerged victorious in 29 out of their last 30 home Euro qualifiers. The only exception was in 2003 when Greece managed to secure a win. Since that match, the Spanish team has won an impressive 24 consecutive qualifiers, showcasing their dominance, and they have managed to keep a clean sheet in 16 of those matches.

Despite their current situation, Scotland enters Spain with a favorable position &— they have everything to gain and nothing to lose. A victory would secure the Scots’ participation in the upcoming summer finals or Germany. Even a draw would greatly increase their chances of qualifying.

Despite being massive underdogs, the Scots have proven themselves consistent in scoring. Clarke’s team has managed to find the back of the net in 20 out of their last 22 matches, with 8 of their last 9 away qualifiers also witnessing at least one goal from the Scottish side.

In the past, this match has consistently produced exciting moments for goal seekers, and I anticipate a similar outcome on Thursday. Betting on both teams to score (BTTS) presents a great opportunity with favorable odds. Although Spain is likely to emerge victorious, we should anticipate a fiercely contested and enjoyable clash on Thursday.
