Wednesday’s UEFA Nations League action sees Scotland lock horns with Armenia at Hampden Park in Glasgow. Kickoff set for June 8, 2022 21:45 EAT.
The hosts had been in great form prior to the Ukraine loss, winning 6 and drawing 2 of their previous 8 while they had enjoyed a brilliant 12 match unbeaten run at home. They haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, finding the back of the net in each and every one of their last 6 matches. They have managed to rack up 9 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 6.
Steve Clarke team will want a better result here following the 1-3 WC Qualifiers – Europe loss in their previous game against Ukraine.In that match, Scotland managed 41% possession, 14 shots with 4 on target and a goal scored by Callum McGregor (79′). Ukraine had 14 shots with 7 on target and goals scored by Andriy Yarmolenko (33′), Roman Yaremchuk (49′) and Artem Dovbyk (95′).
Meanwhile, the visitors are top of Group 1 in League B of the Nations League. They have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 20 goals overall. That shows their leaky defense in the lineup. The visitors have only 2 wins in their 12 matches. They have no win in their last seven away matches, and have managed just one goal in the last five away games. Armenia’s last 13 matches across all competitions have served just two wins.
Joaquín Caparrós ‘s side will hope for a similar result following a 1-0 Nations League win with the defeat of Ireland in their previous fixture. In that game, Armenia managed 32% possession, 10 shots with 3 on target and a goal scored by Eduard Spertsyan (74′). Rep. of Ireland got 13 shots at goal with 2 on target.
