Scotland Women vs England Women Prediction and Betting Tips: Back Lauren Hemp to shine in crucial Nations League game

Scotland and England go toe-to-toe at Hampden Park on Tuesday night in their final Women's Nations League Group A1 clash (BBC One, 7.45pm), which the visitors must win and hope the outcome of Netherlands and Belgium goes their way.

It's a rather strange scenario on Tuesday. As the nominated team from the four home nations, England must win the group to have any chance of qualifying Team GB for next year's Olympics in Paris.

To keep these hopes alive the Lionesses must beat another home nation: Scotland. So, should Scottish players wish to represent Team GB in Paris, then they need England to win...

England and the Netherlands are both tied on nine points at the top of the group, but to finish first England need to better the Netherlands' result against Belgium. Should each country win on Tuesday, it will come down to goal difference, with the Netherlands holding a three-goal advantage.

England have won the last four meetings with Scotland, including a 2-1 Group A1 victory in September, and they make the trip north of the border as short as 1/16 to claim all three points.

Rock-bottom Scotland are winless in five group games and have been handed odds as big as 19/1 to stun their neighbours, while a draw is available at 15/2.

England's form has been hit or miss of late with three wins and three defeats from their last six matches. To put this into context, the Lionesses had previously gone 29 competitive matches without suffering a single defeat under Sarina Wiegman.

However, England showcased their fighting spirit last week in a dramatic 3-2 win at home to the Netherlands in a game they trailed 2-0 at the break.

The win, which was achieved in the 91st minute, kept alive their hopes of winning the group, meaning they will be throwing everything at Scotland at Hampden Park.

The Lioneses' form may be inconsistent, but they can still draw on an extremely impressive record under Wiegman who has accrued 33 wins from 44 matches in all competitions, while England have won their last four games against the Scots.

Yet, with England's defence uncharacteristically shaky right now - they've kept one clean sheet in eight games and conceded five goals in their last two games - I think there's definite value to be had in backing an England win and both teams to score at 2/1, which is a bet that's landed four times in eight games, including September's 2-1 win over Scotland.

As touched on above, there's a real potential for goals on Tuesday as in all likelihood England will not only need to win, but win big, due to the Netherlands' superior goal difference.

Over 4.5 Goals has landed in England's last two games - a 3-2 loss away to Belgium and a 3-2 win at home to the Netherlands - while Scotland leaked in four goals in the defeat to the Dutch just over a month ago.

Both teams to score has been green ticked in four of Scotland's last six matches and in seven of England's last 10.

As for the in-form Lauren Hemp, the winger has scored in six of her last 10 appearances for her country. Three of those goals have come in Group A1, including the equaliser during the 3-2 win over the Netherlands last Friday.

Combine these three selections together to form an 13.38/1 treble with Midnite.
