Scotland vs Northern Ireland match tip

Draw @ 11/4 with Betfred

Despite their dominance in this fixture, Scotland are winless in their last six internationals, since a 3-0 win over Cyprus in qualifying for Euro 2024. Since then, Scotland have lost four with two draws. Most recently, they suffered a 4-0 defeat away to Netherlands at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Northern Ireland had a terrible 2023 but are now on a two-match unbeaten run which includes a victory over Denmark.
