Before you lock in your Scotland vs. Spain picks or UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifying predictions, you NEED to see what SportsLine's soccer expert Martin Green has to say.

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since last year's Men's World Cup, Green has been profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including the Champions League (+4.10 units), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the EFL Cup (+2.91).

Green knows Spain are one of the world's most creative and talented sides. Scotland slowed the game down in their home stadium to pull off the improbable victory, but things should be different in Seville. Spain held the ball for 75% of that match, and their dominance since then has spurred confidence. La Roja won the UEFA Nations League this summer and rank  10th in the world, while Scotland are No. 31. Alvaro Morata had a hat trick against Georgia in their 7-1 victory last month.

The expert also is aware that Scotland have won every match in group play. Scott McTominay, who comes in off a stunning performance for Manchester United last weekend, scored both goals in the March victory. McTominay scored two goals in added time in Man U's crucial 2-1 victory against Brentford on Saturday. He has five goals in the five matches. With the likes of Che Adams, John McGinn and Andy Robertson, the Scots have plenty of talent to compete with a team like Spain.
