Betting suggestion:

This duel brings as protagonists two selections that do not usually stand out in the international competitions, and that have been making bad campaigns in the Qualifiers for the World Cup. In the European qualifiers, Scotland occupies the penultimate position in Group F, led by England. Already in qualifying for the North and Central American teams, Canada is the penultimate position among four Group A teams, led by Mexico. Thus, it is clear that they are two weaker teams, who have been making rather irregular appearances with Scotland scoring just one goal in the last three games, while Canada have not taken the scoreline in two of their last three matches. Thus, we expect a balanced game, but the strength of the home team, which is more competitive by frequently playing games against European teams, is a good option, and it is a good bet to win Scotland.

Analysis Scotland

This is the first friendly match of the year for the home team, after having played 4 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: France (3‑0) Scotland, Italy (1‑0) Scotland, Scotland (1‑0) Denmark and Czech Republic (0‑1) Scotland. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 14 conceded. They come to this match after a away loss against England by (3‑0). Scotland has won 4, tied 2 and lost 1 of the last 7 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 15 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Scotland is making the first appearance in 2017 in a bid to show a better performance than they did in their last matches last year as they have won only one of their last five games and come from two straight defeats. In 2016, there were eight matches, of which the Scottish team won only three, two of which were friendly and only one valid for the World Cup qualifiers, when they won the Malta 1x5 away. For this match, the coach should keep the team in the 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, highlighting the midfielder Snodgrass.

Confirmed Lineup: Allan McGregor, Lee Wallace, Christophe Berra, Charlie Mulgrew, Ikechi Anya, Oliver Burke, Tom Cairney, Darren Fletcher, Robert Snodgrass, Chris Martin.
Coach: S. Naismith, S. Clarke.

Analysis Canada

The away team plays its 2nd friendly match of the year, after having faced Bermuda, in a friendly that ended with the final score: Bermuda (2‑4) Canada. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 12 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Canada has won 1, tied 3 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Canada is on the pitch for the second appearance in 2017 trying to capitalize on the result of their first friendly match this year to improve their performance, which has not been one of the best, especially in the last year. In 2016, the team won only three of their ten matches, considering friendly matches and qualifying matches for the World Cup Qualifiers. Their last home win was in a friendly against Mauritania, which finished in 4x0. However, their last victory in competitions was against El Salvador, also at home, for the World Cup Qualifiers, which finished in 3x1. For this match, the coach must keep the team at 4-2-3-1.

Confirmed Lineup: Simon Thomas, Adam Straith, Manjrekar James, Maxim Tissot, Nikolas Ledgerwood, Samuel Piette, Fraser Aird, Scott Arfield, Marco Bustos, Simeon Jackson, Junior Hoilett.
Coach: J. Herdman.
