Spain vs. Scotland Betting Tips: 75/1 Bet Builder for Group A clash
Scotland put their 100% winning record to the test against Spain at the Estadio de La Cartuja on Thursday evening in an eagerly anticipated Group A clash.
Jimmy The Punt has previewed the game and provided his best bets, featuring Scott McTominay.
Hosts Spain will be seeking revenge after the Tartan Army beat them 2-0 in the reverse, while Steve Clarke’s side will be hoping to maintain their 100% record, move nine points clear at the top of the group, and secure their spot at Euro 2024.
The job Clarke has done cannot be understated, the Scottish supremo has hoisted his nation up 20 places in the FIFA rankings.
They were 14/1 to win this group back on March 22nd, now they are into 1/14 to qualify, and hold their fate in their own hands.
Spain vs Scotland Tips
In the last international break I questioned what happened to Scott McTominay when he put on a Scotland shirt. A more apt question now is what has happened to Scott McTominay?
The Manchester United man may have saved his manager's job at the weekend after he scored twice from the bench to turn the game against Brentford on its head.
Both those goals game deep into stoppage time - the first a tidy finish, the second a header - and took the Red Devils from a goal down to one up in a whirlwind seven minutes of stoppages at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag, who started the afternoon second favourite in the sack race, must have breathed a sigh of relief as the second hit the net.
Those goals took McTominay’s tally to eight this season, six of which have come in European qualifiers.
He hit the double twice, one coming in the reverse, scored one against Georgia, and grabbed a goal and an assist in the one game last international break.
The midfielder is currently around 15/2 to score anytime in Sevilla and while he is scoring for fun I am going to air on the side of caution here.
McTominay has racked up 14 shots across those five appearances (2.8 per game), so his price of 7/4 to hit the target here appeals.
Scotland are one win away from a guaranteed spot at the 2024 European Championships.
Three points on Thursday and they will be there, so how could I not tip them to win and their stopper to be carded? It would be daft not to.
A Scotland win and Angus Gunn to be carded can be backed at 75/1 with William Hill.
This exact bet landed when these sides met at Hampden Park, completely different circumstances I know, but if anything playing away from home, knowing the repercussions of a win only enhances the combo this time round.
Best of luck if you are backing any of these selections and please remember to gamble responsibly.
