Scotland Netherlands betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a tendency to be unbalanced, since it places within the four lines two different teams at a technical and tactical level. On the one hand, Scotland plays at home and has a very interesting offensive sector, as the Netherlands wants to continue on the road to winning, and it is expected that it will be very offensive.
In this way, we believe that this game will be very fast so, betting in favor of "Over 2.5 goals" is of great value.

Preview
Scotland and Netherlands face at Pittodrie Stadium, in a friendly match. This is the 2nd friendly match of the year for Scotland, after the previous friendly match against Canada. As for Netherlands, this is the 4th friendly match of the year, after previous friendly matches against Ivory Coast, Morocco and Italy. There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 09‑09‑2009, the match ended with the final score: Scotland (0‑1) Netherlands. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Scotland

This is the 2nd friendly match of the year for the home team, after the friendly match against Canada, which ended with the final score: Scotland (1‑1) Canada. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 24 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last match, for the WC Qualification Europe, they got an away tie against Slovenia by (2‑2). In the last 7 home matches Scotland has won 4 and tied 3. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Scotland leaves for this match with a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands, adding the seventh straight game without losing: the goals were signed by Snodgrass and Griffiths. In this difficult friendly match coach Malky Mackay should play in 4-4-2 with Griffiths being the most offensive reference of the home team: this player is very powerful and competent in the aerial game. Note that right-back Robert Snodgrass is one of the great highlights with 4 goals scored. 
Apparently there are no major absences for this game.

Confirmed Lineup: Craig Gordon, Andrew Robertson, Christophe Berra, Kieran Tierney, Ryan Jack, John McGinn, James Forrest, Kenny McLean, Matt Phillips, Callum McGregor, Ryan Christie.
Coach: S. Clarke.

Analysis Netherlands

The away team plays its 4th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Netherlands (5‑0) Ivory Coast, Morocco (1‑2) Netherlands and Netherlands (1‑2) Italy. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 32 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the WC Qualification Europe, they got a home win against Sweden by (2‑0). In the last 10 away matches Netherlands has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 11 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 7 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The Netherlands comes to this game with a 2-0 win against Sweden, adding the second consecutive win in official matches: Robben signed two goals. Of note is that the Dutch did not get access to the 2018 World Cup. 
In this away game, it is expected that coach Dick Advocaat will play in the usual 4-4-2 privileging ball possession and the paused attacks. 
In addition it will be visible that the Netherlands use the wings to create danger to the opponent: Babel is a very fast and excellent player in the transport of the ball. 
For this game the away coach can not rely on Bas Dost, Locadia and Vincent Janssen, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Jasper Cillessen, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Nathan Aké, Daley Blind, Virgil van Dijk, Karim Rekik, Georginio Wijnaldum, Kevin Strootman, Ryan Babel, Quincy Promes, Memphis Depay.
Coach: R. Koeman.
