Scotland vs England preview

International friendlies aren't everyone's cup of tea - but this game stokes EVERYBODY'S interest.

The Auld Enemy make their way up the road to take on a Scotland side that are absolutely flying at present.

Steve Clarke's side blew Cyprus away in the opening half an hour on the way to a 3-0 win in their latest Euro 2024 qualifier.

That win made it five wins from five in the group - and 11 qualifying wins in a row (World Cup & Euros), which is the longest run of any European side at present.

Better still, Scotland could also qualify for the Euros while this game is on, if Norway vs Georgia ends in a draw.

That would see them become the first and only side to qualify for the tournament during this international break - bar Germany, who are there as hosts (luckily for them...)

With a host of top Premier League stars involved here, it's maybe a surprise to see Scotland as big a price as they are.

England fought back to earn a draw away at Ukraine over the weekend which ended their own 100% record in Euro 2024 qualifying.

It remains to be seen what sort of side Gareth Southgate puts out but he certainly won't want to lose this one.

But he's up against a side bang in form and 50,000-strong Tartan Army who feel the same.

The last two games between the nations ended in a draw and it'd be no surprise to see this one being just as tight.

Scotland vs England betting tips

Scotland and over 1.5 goals in match at 5/1 - CLAIM HERE

Bias? Not this time. There's a real, genuine belief that Scotland will get a victory here.

Taking Jude Bellingham out the equation for a second, we've a midfield three that can dominate in the middle and the defensive record speaks for itself.

Frustratingly, we don't have a Harry Kane up top who could take us to the next level.

But in Scott McTominay, we have the best international player in Europe at present and he's got a point to prove against his English counterparts.

Scott McTominay to score anytime at 7/1 - CLAIM HERE

Oh, speaking of McTominay, we back him to continue his incredible goal scoring return in dark blue.

Like we said, he has his doubters because he can't, somehow, get into a poor Manchester United side.

But he always does a job for Steve Clarke and he'll be desperate to make his mark.
