Scotland Slovakia betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash tends to be fairly balanced, considering that it faces two teams that fight round after round for the classification to the next World, being separated by only 1 point. For Slovakia, the draw can be considered a good result, as it will not be overtaken by Scotland and then decide the qualification in the last home match against Malta's poor squad, so the team must act rather patient, focusing on defense, which will certainly complicate Scotland's offensive system task. 
Given these factors, we believe in a match less intense, with the away team neutralizing opponents strikers and few goals.
