Scotland U21 Portugal U21 betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be several goals. It's true that we're expecting a more controlled match from the Portugal Under-21s, but Scotland Under-21s are a very attack-minded team and should provide a very positive game, where we'll see that both teams are not very concerned about their defence. So taking a chance in favour of the "Over 2.5 Goals" market in this match is a good option.

Analysis Scotland

Scotland Under-21s come into this match on the back of a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Czechia Under-21s.

In this design, the two players who will play a more attacking role are Ewan Wilson and Cameron Gardner. When they go on the offensive, they usually do so through the right wing, taking advantage of the depth offered by Matthew Anderson. All the players are available for this game.
