Scotland vs England odds
Scotland will keep like they could beat anyone in the world right now and they’ll be hoping to get one over their Auld rivals this week. Steve Clarke’s men are on the brink of qualifying for Euro 2024, still perfect after five matches and top of their group. In fact, Scotland could have their spot confirmed before they next kick a competitive ball. Scotland have beaten Cyprus (twice), Georgia, Norway and Spain so far, but qualifying takes a sidestep now though, with England travelling to Hampden Park for a friendly.
And it’s no ordinary friendly. This game was announced on 22 November 2022, 150 years on from the first ever international football match, played between England and Scotland.
England go into this game off the back of a draw with Ukraine that ended their own perfect start to qualifying for Euro 2024. The Three Lions are still in pole position to finish top of their group and qualify for the tournament, but it was a bit of a speed bump and ended a four-game winning streak.

Double Chance: Scotland/Draw @ 11/10 with Betfair
Scotland haven’t beaten England since 1999 but they may not be in a better position to win this fixture. They come into the friendly in fantastic form and have a comfortable win over Spain under their belts this year. England, on the other hand, laboured to their draw against Ukraine and lacked inspiration up front at times. There’s also the fact that the last two meetings between these two sides finished level.

Scott McTominay to score anytime, 10+ booking points each time & BTTS
Scott McTominay is the man of the moment for Scotland, particularly in Euro 2024 qualifying. The Manchester United midfielder has netted six goals in five games including a brace in the 2-0 win over Spain in March. But, of course, this will be a fiery affair as it always is between two rivals. The past five games have seen 13 yellow cards shown, with England currently ahead on 7-6.
Scotland vs England team news
Scott McTominay will be hoping to continue his fine scoring form for Scotland from the start. Che Adams played for England U20 before switching international allegiance to Scotland and will be hoping to hurt the Three Lions. Liam Kelly and Elliot Anderson have had to pull out due to injury.
England lost Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jack Grealish to injury before their draw against Ukraine. Gareth Southgate may want to shake things up after watching England struggle.
