Poland vs Scotland: betting odds 18 Nov 2024

Unlike other participants in Group 1 of League A, Poland and Scotland are yet to resolve their tournament objectives ahead of the final round. In Warsaw, both teams will compete for the right to remain in the elite division—while the hosts only need a draw, the British side require a win.

Following their victory over Scotland in the first round (3:2), the Poland national team have experienced a lacklustre period in the Nations League. On Friday, the team suffered a painful defeat to Portugal (5:1), conceding all goals in the last 30 minutes of the match. Without Robert Lewandowski, they managed to create just 0.71 xG, and the injury list grew with Bartosz Bereszyński’s absence—Poland will enter the sixth round without their main full-back.

Conversely, Scotland have improved in their last two matches. Initially, they held off Portugal's attack to a goalless draw and later secured a victory over Croatia (1:0). Against the 2022 World Cup bronze medalists, the British side capitalised on just two shots on target to claim three points—Stephen Clarke’s closed style of play places strong emphasis on their formidable back line.

In Glasgow at the start of September, Poland were fortunate with Lewandowski's brilliant form (he recorded 1+1), and Nicola Zalewski snatched the victory with a penalty in injury time. Scotland are ready for revenge, boasting far more stable morale than their opponents.
