Well, if they are to do so, talisman Scott McTominay &#8211; who has started brilliantly at Napoli &#8211; may need to pull off some more heroics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>His Napoli colleague Billy Gilmour will also have to be on his game to try and gain some control against a Portuguese side capable of dictating the tempo of any match and creating a plethora of chances with slick, incisive attacking play.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Scotland vs Portugal Odds<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><strong>*All odds are subject to change<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Scots are at 5.20 to achieve a much-needed home victory, while Portugal are the big favourites at 1.59. The draw is priced at 4.30.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo is the frontrunner in the first goalscorer market at odds of 3.76, with Diogo Jota next in line at 5.90.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Scotland vs Portugal Betting Tips<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Portugal to win and both teams to score @ 3.03<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of these sides have scored in every match in the Nations League thus far, a trend we can see continuing this evening. However, we cannot see Scotland\u2019s goal(s) leading to a victory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bernardo Silva to score anytime @ 4.00<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Manchester City ace Silva bagged a goal in the 3-1 victory over Poland and he is in typically good form. Despite the fact he often occupies a deeper role, we can see him getting on the scoresheet again at Hampden Park.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Scotland Team News<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Gordon, Ralston, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson, Gilmour, McLean, Christie, McTominay, Doak, Adams<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>Portugal Team News<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Costa, Dalot, Dias, Veiga, Mendes, Vitinha, Silva, Neto, Fernandes, Leao, Ronaldo<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you choose NetBet Sport, you can enjoy a whole range of top-quality sports and markets.
