Scotland vs Belgium Betting Tips
Belgium are at the top of the table in the Group I with all wins so far. They’re likely to stay at the top position, which is not surprising, considering they’re one of the best national teams on the planet. In 2018, they won the 3rd place at the World Cup. Scotland, on the other hand, are not too big favorites to get qualified for EURO 2020.
This team is competing for the second place, together with Russia, Kazakhstan, and perhaps even Cyprus. For Scotland, every match is of incredible importance, which is why it’s fair to expect them to give their utmost on Monday evening. They need at least a point in order to keep their dream alive.
Although they come nowhere near Belgium in terms of player quality, they do have a pretty decent squad. A number of their players play in English Premier League clubs, while there are also many of those who play important roles in Scottish clubs, namely Celtic.
Of course, their most famous player is their captain, Liverpool full-back Andrew Robertson. They also have some pretty good players in the midfield, who definitely seem capable of giving Belgium a run for their money. Actually, Belgium are guaranteed to have a difficult time in Glasgow against very motivated Scotts.
And considering that Belgium have almost finished their job in the qualification, their manager might decide to give some of his key men some rest. If that happens, Scotland’s chances will go up even more. Of course, they still won’t be favorites to win, but they could definitely grab a point.

The reason why Belgium destroyed Scotland in their previous duel was not just that they have much better players; it’s also because they played that game at home.
