Slovenia Scotland betting prediction
 Slovenia |
|  Scotland |
Betting suggestion:
This clash tends to be intense, since to Slovenia only the win matters to continue dreaming of a place in the 2018 World Cup and there is no alternative but to give it all in search of the 3 points, but this will certainly leave spaces for the away team to counterattack.
In addition, Scotland is the team that scored the most goals away from home in Group F and all its 4 games away from home ended with at least 3 goals on the scoreboard.
Given these factors, we believe in a match with great offensive volume, a good number of opportunities created and some goals.
