Scotland v Czech Republic Tips: Back Soucek to cause problems with his head

I know all games in the group stage are big but this is huge!

No disrespect to these two sides but with the quality of Croatia and England in the group the loser of this game may as well pack their bags whilst the winner will be right amongst the remaining qualifying spots.

Both sides possess similar ability levels throughout the squads. They where recently in the same Nations League group were Scotland where victorious over the Czech Republic twice winning 2-1 and 1-0. However, Scotland finished 2 nd , 2 points below the Czechs in the group. Hampden Park should be bouncing on Monday and I for one can’t wait for what should be a fiery fixture.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year you will be fully aware of Soucek's aerial threats to any opposition. Scotland have definitely got aerial presence amongst their side to restrict the threat but at 6/1 it is a price which cant be ignored.

This bet has landed in both Nations League games with the Czechs making nine and six tackles, so only 13 over the two fixtures. Both sides received a card each in those two fixtures and with so much on the line Monday in what should be an electric Hampden Park, I’m expecting the same again.

He had two headed shots in the most recent meeting v Scotland. Both of those where off target but both easily could have been on target so at 33/1 I am more than happy to take that.
