Back this 4/1 Scotland vs Portugal bet-builder on Tuesday
Back this 4/1 Scotland vs Portugal bet-builder on Tuesday

Scotland welcome another European big-hitter as Portugal travel to Hampden for matchday four of the Nations League.

Can Steve Clarke's side stop the rot, or will the visitors continue their perfect record in the competition?

Odds Now's Brad Walker has put together a tasty 4/1 bet-builder ahead of kick-off north of the border.

Brad Walker's Scotland vs Portugal bet-builder selections


Selection #1 - Portugal to score over 1.5+ goals (8/13)

A Seleção have registered three consecutive victories since their disappointing Euro 2024 quarter-final exit at the hands of France.

All three of those matches also saw Roberto Martinez's side score two or more goals, the latest being a comfortable 3-1 win away at Poland.

It's a good job the Scots have been tight-knit at the back then, eh? Ah, maybe not.

Scotland have conceded at least two in four of their last six in all competitions - a period which has seen them concede 14 goals in total.

The run includes a crushing 2-1 defeat in Lisbon last month following Cristiano Ronaldo's 88th-minute winner in a game which saw Portugal record 26 shots on Angus Gunn's goal.

Selection #2 - Cristiano Ronaldo to score anytime (19/20)

In fact, the six-time Ballon D'or winner Ronaldo has scored in all three of his nation's matches since the Euros in the summer.

He also netted the winning goal in Portugal's 2-1 win against Croatia at the start of September, before adding further strike against the Scots and Poland last time out.

Ronaldo may not have scored at a major tournament for the first time in Germany but remains a potent threat in front of goal.

How can you turn him down at just below even money to score once again versus a leaky Scotland defence?

Selection #3 - Over 9.5+ corners (7/10)

Remarkably, the Portuguese have seen the total corner count reach double figures in each of their last six outings in all competitions.

A minimum of 11 have taken place across that period in matches involving Martinez' men and, given they'll be facing a resolute Scottish side looking to sit-in and make life difficult for them, it's hard to envisage anything other than a bag load of set-pieces once again this time around.

The two sides' previous meeting last month saw 18 corners in total before the 90 minutes were up.
