Our Latest Scotland vs Spain Predictions and Tips
If you're looking for free football betting tips, like our betting picks for Scotland vs Spain, you've come to the right place:
Spain to Win
While both teams notched convincing, 3-0 wins in the first round of Euro 2024 Qualifiers, Spain did have a tougher opponent and they are clearly the better team of the two.
That being said, Scotland can be a tough nut to crack at home, but we believe that Spain has enough in them to do it. So, our first Scotland vs Spain prediction is for Spain to win the game.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
As we said, Scotland can be a tough nut to crack, especially at home, and Spain is a great team on the defensive end of the pitch, so our second Scotland vs Spain prediction is for this match to go under 2.5 total goals.
After all, Spain has gone under 2.5 total goals in three of their last five matches and since we expect them to be the team to dictate the tempo of the game, we don't see this being a high-scoring affair.

Scotland – Spain Preview: Recent Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all about the two teams and their latest news and form here and check our predicted Scotland vs Spain lineups:
Scotland
After making it to their first Euro since 1996 last time around, in 2020, Scotland will be hoping to secure their second straight appearance at the main stage. To that end, the team had a very good start of Euro 2024 Qualifiers as they beat Cyprus 3-0 at home in the first round, but their second-round matchup against Spain will certainly prove to be a much tougher task.
Meanwhile, Che Adams left the game with Cyprus early with an injury and he later pulled out of the team, so we won't see him in this game.
Scotland Predicted Lineup:
Gunn – Hanley, Porteous, Tierney – Hickey, McGregor, McTominay, Robertson – McGinn, Christie – Dykes
Spain
Fueled by young blood, this Spanish team looked great in group stages at World Cup in Qatar, but they slipped on the next step and lost to Morocco in the knockout stages. Meanwhile, the team started the 2024 Euro Qualifiers in good form, with a convincing 3-0 win over Norway, so they are rightfully the main candidate to finish at the top of their group.
When it comes to team news, Spain is pretty much at full strength ahead of their duel with Scotland.
Spain Predicted Lineup:
Arrizabalaga – Carvajal, Fernandez, Laporte, Balde – Merino, Rodri, Ruiz – Olmo, Morata, Gavi

Player to Watch: Alvaro Morata
Given that we expect to see a Spanish win in this match, our player to watch is Alvaro Morata. The experienced striker is a player that can decide a match with one goal, after all.
In addition to this, Morata has been in good form this season for Atletico Madrid, so Scotland will have to keep a close eye on him in this match.
