Portugal vs Scotland: Nations League kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, prediction, h2h results, odds today

Scotland travel to meet Portugal in another tough Nations League assignment this evening.

The Tartan Army were beaten 3-2 in agonising last-gasp fashion at home to Poland on Thursday night, conceding a late penalty at Hampden Park after initially fighting back from two goals down.

It was a desperately disappointing note on which to start the new season’s first international break and promoted Scotland’s first-ever campaign in League A, which gets no easier with a trip to Lisbon on Sunday.

Portugal vs Scotland prediction

It’s difficult to see how an out-of-form Scotland team on such a poor run and low on confidence stops this star-studded Portugal side away from home, particularly if Ronaldo is in full flow once again.

A comfortable victory for the hosts likely beckons in Lisbon then, leaving Clarke with much to ponder ahead of further games against Croatia and Portugal in October and after such a disappointing showing at Euro 2024.

Portugal to win, 2-0 .

Head to head (h2h) history and results

Scotland have not beaten Portugal since a thumping 4-1 win at Euro 1980, losing four of the last six meetings with two draws.

These sides have only met twice so far this century and since 1993, Portugal winning a friendly encounter 2-0 in rainy Braga back in 2002 thanks to a Pauleta brace before running out 3-1 victors at Hampden in October 2018.
