Scotland vs Poland Prediction and Betting Tips: Scott McTominay in 28/1 fancy
Scotland open their Nations League campaign at home to Poland on Thursday 5th September.
The Scots may have come unstuck at Euro 2024 but they will see this fixture as an ideal opportunity to bounce back as they look to build on their successful promotion-winning 2022/23 edition of the Nations League.

Scotland and Poland both endured disappointing showings at Euro 2024, finishing rock-bottom of their respective groups with just a point apiece.
Nevertheless, the Nations League presents a fresh opportunity for both countries to recover quickly and secure a prized place in the quarter-finals.
Scotland and Poland will compete alongside Croatia and Portugal in the top Group 1, and with more challenging fixtures on the horizon, both nations will be aim for a confidence-boosting early three points at Hampden Park.
Playing on home turf in front of a passionate crowd, Scotland have been designated as the 7/5 favourites to win according to Midnite, while Poland have been handed odds of 21/10 to emerge victorious. A draw is available at odds of 11/5.
After swapping Manchester United for Napoli last week, Scott McTominay has jetted straight back to the United Kingdom for Scotland vs Poland.
While Man Utd may have deemed McTominay surplus to requirements, he has emerged as an indispensable player for his national team under the guidance of Steve Clarke.
His tenacious and dynamic performances, coupled with his excellent eye for goal, helped propel Scotland into just their second major tournament (Euro 2024) since 1998. In the qualifying rounds, only the elite quartet of Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Romelu Lukaku surpassed McTominay's impressive tally of seven goals, which featured a brilliant brace in the shock 2-0 victory over the future European Champions, Spain.
A return of eight goals in his last 16 international games, including Scotland's sole goal (excluding own goals) at Euro 2024, is an excellent return rate for a midfielder. This makes Midnite's enhanced odds offering of 3/1 to 7/2 for the Scot to score on Thursday particularly appealing, especially considering McTominay's tally of five goals in his last four competitive home games, while he now faces a visiting Polish team that have failed to secure a clean sheet in their last five outings.
I'm also looking to have a little bit of loose change on a Scott McTominay brace at big odds of 28/1 with Sky Bet.
McTominay bagged two braces at Hampden Park during qualifying for Euro 2024, against Spain and Cyprus, while he also scored two two-goal hauls for Man Utd last season against Chelsea and Brentford.
His impressive goalscoring record for his country, especially at Hampden Park, makes Sky Bet's odds of 28/1 too good to turn down.
