Scotland-Poland is a match valid for the first day of the group stage of the Nations League and is played on Thursday at 8:45 p.m.: statistics, live TV, likely lineups, prediction.
In Group A of the 2024-25 Nations League, in addition to Portugal and Croatia, there are also Scotland and Poland, two selections both coming off a very disappointing European Championship. The Tartan Army barely collected a point in three games, never giving the feeling that they could make it past the group stage. After a nightmarish opener with host Germany (5-1), Steve Clarke’s men snatched a draw against Switzerland (1-1) but lost narrowly to Hungary (0-1) on the third day, finishing in last place.
Seven goals conceded and only two scored for the British representative, similar numbers to the Poles, who conceded one less goal in Germany while realizing one more.
Poland, however, also failed to avoid the last place in an in any case more complicated grouping than Scotland (there was Holland and France). The only positive note for Michal Probierz’s selection – also confirmed despite a disappointing European Championship – was a draw with Mbappé’s France on the third day (1-1), with Lewandowski replying right back to the current Real Madrid striker. The Scottish coach for this match-which will represent Scotland’s absolute debut in the Nations League A-has also called up three players who landed in Serie A during the last summer market (Torino’s Adams and Neapolitans Gilmour and McTominay), while in Poland, in addition to Lewandowski, there are really a lot of Italians, from Zielinski to Zalewski, via Urbanski and Walukiewicz.

The Prediction
In front of their own public Scotland always has an edge but we must also take into account the fact that in the last year the Tartan Army has only managed to beat modest Gibraltar in friendly matches (1 win in the last 12 games). We therefore imagine a largely deadlocked match, since Poland – excluding Lewandowski – does not have much quality up front there either. A draw is not to be ruled out.
