Scotland is clear favourites to win against Ireland. The hosts have had a good start to the competition and are favourites to go through to the next round. Backing them to win at home is a very valuable bet in this game.

Round 5 in the UEFA Nations League sees Ireland visit Scotland at the Hampden Park Glasgow on Saturday in Group 1B.

Scotland is currently top of their UEFA Nations League group after four games. They have picked up nine points from a possible twelve. Scotland has dropped points just once in this tournament, picking up three wins and a loss from those games.

The Scottish side has won their last two games by a very comfortable margin. They picked up a 4-1 win away to Armenia before a recent 3-0 win at home to Ukraine. Scotland has been very good in attack and has scored nine goals in just four games — averaging over two goals per game.

Steve Clark's team play better at home. They have won both home games in this competition and should easily get a third home win. Scotland has scored five goals in two home games and is yet to concede at home in this tournament.

Ireland has had a slow start to their campaign. The visitors are currently third in the UEFA Nations League Group 1B, one point above relegation. Their poor form this year has seen them drop to 47th in the FIFA World rankings.

The away team has picked up just one win from four games in this competition. They have lost half of their games already. Ireland drew 1-1 in their last nations league game. They are yet to win away from home, picking up one draw and a loss. Ireland lost 1-0 to an Armenian team ranked 92nd in the world.

Ireland is struggling to score goals this year. They have managed to score four goals compared to Scotland's record of nine goals in the same amount of games. The last time Scotland was at home to Ireland in a competitive game, they won by a goal to nil.

The visitors have seen a dip in performances this year, and considering the strength of both teams, a home win is the best option to bet on in this game.

苏格兰很有可能战胜爱尔兰。东道主在比赛中有一个良好的开端，他们是晋级下一轮的热门球队。支持他们在主场取胜是这场比赛中非常有价值的赌注。

欧足联国家联赛第5轮，爱尔兰将于周六在格拉斯哥汉普顿公园球场迎战苏格兰。

苏格兰目前在四场比赛后排名欧足联国家联赛小组第一。他们从原本的12分中得了9分。苏格兰在本届比赛中只丢过一次分，在这几场比赛中取得了3胜1负的成绩。

苏格兰队在最近两场比赛中以非常轻松的优势取胜。他们在客场4-1战胜亚美尼亚，最近又在主场3-0战胜乌克兰。苏格兰在进攻上非常出色，仅仅4场比赛就打进9球——场均2球以上。

史蒂夫·克拉克的球队在主场踢得更好。他们在这场比赛的两个主场都赢了，应该会很容易地获得第三个主场胜利。苏格兰在两场主场比赛中打进5球，本届杯赛还未在主场丢球。

爱尔兰队在比赛中开局缓慢。客队目前在欧足联国家联赛1B组排名第三，比保级高出1分。他们今年糟糕的表现已经使他们在国际足联世界排名下降到第47位。

客队在这场比赛的四场比赛中只取得了一场胜利。他们已经输掉了一半的比赛。爱尔兰在最后一场国家联赛中1-1战平。他们还没有在客场取得胜利，取得了一平一负的成绩。爱尔兰0 - 1不敌世界排名第92位的亚美尼亚队。

爱尔兰今年很难进球。他们已经成功打入4球，而苏格兰的纪录是在同样的场次打入9球。上一次苏格兰在主场对阵爱尔兰时，他们以一球比零取胜。

客队今年的表现有所下降，考虑到两队的实力，主场取胜是本场比赛最好的选择。
