Scotland take on the visitors Armenia in the round 2 match of League B in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 8th at Hampden Park (Glasgow).
Scotland team started the summer with a serious setback. They were preparing to play the decisive fights of the entire cycle, fighting for access to the World Championship. But they only confirmed the status of a modest team, and not the most militant ones - the “tartan” houses were completely beaten by the Ukrainians, despite all the problems of the latter with match practice in the last half of the year. All ended 3-1 in favor of the Yellow-Blues, and even Steve Clark admitted justice, only adding that the score could have been much worse. Well, now the Scots need to switch to the League of Nations. By the way, there was success in it - in the first draw, which, by the way, helped to return to the "big" tournaments, winning an additional joint for the right to enter Euro 2020.

Armenia is somewhat similar to its opponent, and not only because it is not the richest region in the mountains between the seas. "Red-yellow" are also quite ambitious, and have skilled players in their roster, but they could not confirm this at least by participating in "big" tournaments. The maximum was 3rd place in the selection for Euro 2012, but this did not even give a pass to the playoffs. And in the last year's cycle, for the World Championship, already under Joaquin Caparros, it turned out to take only 3 wins and 12 points in 10 fights, which brought a modest 4th place. On the other hand, in the last season of the League of Nations, they managed to prove themselves in Division C, winning the group and winning promotion.
Scotland lost due to the health issues Jack and Dykes. The Armenians lost an experienced Ishkhanyan due to an injury. But, first of all, it is necessary to note the departure of the country's best footballer, Mkhitaryan, last year. This will be the first match between these national teams. And, judging by the previous matches performed by this pair during the current "window", bookies tend to overestimate the "tartan". A passing option seems to be the “+1.5 goals” handicap for guests from the Caucasus.
Prediction for the match: Armenia to win with +1.5 handicap.
