England vs Scotland predictions for this UEFA EURO 2020 battle on Friday at Wembley Stadium. The English want to reach six points, which would take them through to the next round, and to do so they must beat a weak Scottish side. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
England
The English opened with a narrow win over the Croatians. It was not the best game in attack for England but they showed a good level defensively with the help of Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier, John Stones and Tyrone Mings.
Given their status as one of the favourites to win this Euro and with the expectation of their physical superiority over most teams, the English must now up their game against more defensive teams such as Croatia as this nearly proved their undoing in their previous match.
England have not lost to Scotland since 1999.
Scotland
Scotland made their debut in this year’s Euros with a defeat against the Czechs in front of home fans. Not much was expected of the Scots in this tournament but their performance in their first match still failed to impress.
Andrew Robertson, Scotland’s captain and one of the best left-backs in the world was one of the few saving graces of the scottish team.
Key Stats
England vs Scotland Predictions
We see no other outcome in this match than a decisive victory for England. They are playing at home at Wembley, are far superior collectively, and have lots of individual talent to fall back on if things aren’t going well and they find themselves in a deadlocked game. Also, they have a very good record, having conceded only one goal in the last seven games.
We foresee a game in which Scotland will have no choice but to go for the points, which could create a lot of space for England’s quick counter-attacking players, so we think this game could have more than 2.5 goals total.
