On Wednesday night, Scotland and the Czech Republic clash at Hampden Park in Group B2 of the Nations League, with both teams looking to continue decent recent runs of form.
Scotland are seven games unbeaten in the international game, having recorded five wins over 90 minutes and also a penalty kick victory.
A 1-0 win over Slovakia last time out means that Steve Clarke’s team are top of the group, having won two of their three matches in the latest Nations League campaign.
In fact, the home side has won five of their seven games in the new competition, suffering just one defeat in the process. Their recent matches in the Nations League have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous six games.
The home side has also made it hard for visiting teams to Hampden in the competition, as they have won three of their four home games while remaining unbeaten. Their home matches in the competition have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches on home soil.
Similarly to their hosts, the Czech Republic’s recent form has been good, as the visitors have won three of their last four international games. Last time out, Jaroslav Silhavy’s team recorded a 2-1 win in Israel. The result means that the visitors are second in the group table behind the home team.
The Czech’s have also impressed in recent away games, having recorded three straight wins on the road, while scoring at least two goals in all three of their wins.
To add to that positive recent away record, they have also recorded wins in three of their previous four matches on their travels in the Nations League.
Forebet predicts that this game will finish honours even to continue both teams recent runs of international form.
