Scotland vs Northern Ireland match tip
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.
Scotland vs Northern Ireland odds
Despite their recent poor form, Scotland’s superiority in this fixture and home advantage make them favourites here, but Northern Ireland will fancy their chances.
