Poland vs Scotland Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips: Best bets for crunch clash in Warsaw

A rejuvenated Scotland travel to Poland on Monday night for their final Nations League group game of the campaign.

The Scots have taken four points from their last two games against Portugal and Croatia, during which they've impressively kept back-to-back clean sheets, now Steve Clarke's men bid to claim the win that could even see them finish second in the group.

Scotland head into this fixture with renewed confidence and a glimmer of hope of making the quarter-finals.

The Tartan Army demonstrated defensive resilience in a return of two straight clean sheets against Portugal and Croatia, beating the latter 1-0 last week, which has moved them level on points with Poland and within three points of Croatia.

Poland are there for the taking. They have one win in eight matches, haven't kept a clean sheet in 10, and have leaked in 3+ goals in their last three straight Nations League games. They can't make the quarter-finals, however, a win or draw will see them avoid automatic relegation.

If Scotland win they will leapfrog above their opponents into the relegation play-offs, and three points could even be enough to jump above Croatia into a second semi-final spot should the Croatians lose at home to group winners Portugal and there's a three-goal swing.

Scotland have momentum on their side, but while they seem a tad short at 2/1 to fully back for the win, I have sided with the visitors in the double-chance market. Poland, thrashed 5-1 in Portugal a few days ago, are in really poor form at the moment and will be without the services of star man Robert Lewandowski for this crunch clash.

I've combined a Scotland draw/win with a shot on target for the in-form Scott McTominay - which has landed four times in his last five games for club and country - to form a 13/8 Bet Builder with BetMGM.

Given the high stakes of tonight's match, it is likely that tensions will escalate as the countries battle it out to avoid automatic relegation.

The odds for Over 4.5 Cards stand at 13/20, indicating bookmakers' expectations for the match, with a red card being valued at 3/1.

A sending odd could well be the way to go here. Scotland's win at home to Croatia on Friday saw the visitors reduced to 10 men before half-time, and there was a red card in Poland's last home game, which also came from Croatia.
