Scotland and Iceland go head to head in a friendly at Hampden Park on Friday 6th June at 8pm. Both teams begin preparations for their World Cup qualifying campaigns, which begin in September. This game will be broadcast live on BBC One Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iceland have lost four of their last five matches, with defeats against Turkey, Wales and twice against Kosovo in March, losing 5-2 over two legs in the Nations League playoffs. Historically, Iceland have struggled against Scotland, losing all of their six encounters and Steve Clark will be targeting a win here to build confidence ahead of their World Cup qualifying campaign. With Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour back from winning the league with Napoli, the hosts can put in a professional performance and win the game. Taking them to win and under five goals being scored looks the sensible approach into the markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
John McGinn often takes up a more attacking role for his national side than when playing for Aston Villa. The Scot has an impressive record of 20 goals in 75 appearances for Scotland and has scored in two of his last four, with strikes against Croatia and Poland in the Nations League. The Paddy Power traders appear to have been incredibly generous with a massive 7\/1 on show for him to score anytime against Iceland. All other bookmakers have McGinn picked around the 2-1 to 5-2 region to get his name on the scoresheet, so take advantage of this inflated offering. <\/p>\n\n\n
