Here’s our Scotland Vs Croatia preview, prediction, team news and confirmed lineups ahead of Friday’s Nations League clash.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scotland Vs Croatia Preview<\/h2>\n

Steve Clarke’s Scotland<\/a> are bottom of Group 1, having picked up just one point so far. Their 0-0 draw with Portugal<\/a> was a well-deserved one, but they have now gone a record 10 competitive matches without a win.<\/p>\n

Their winless home run of six games is also a record, while they are one game away from equalling a record nine games without a win, including friendlies.<\/p>\n

Scotland came close against Portugal and Poland, and had a late equaliser ruled out in Zagreb last month.<\/p>\n

But they now need a minimum of four points from their remaining two games to avoid relegation back to Nations League B.<\/p>\n

Croatia, meanwhile, have never won in Scotland. They did beat the Scots at home last month, but let slip a two-goal lead against Poland to draw 3-3.<\/p>\n

Zlatko Dalic’s men will qualify for the knockouts with victory in Glasgow, and may go through with a draw if Poland fail to beat Portugal.<\/p>\n
