Scotland return to a big competition after 23 years. Their last appearance was in World Cup 1998.This generation is very good with many players from Premier League or other english leagues.

Coach Clarke uses a very defensive 3-5-2 and based in a group of important players like Tierney from Arsenal, Robertson from Liverpool, McTominay from Manchester United and Che Adams from Southampton.The only problem could be the strikers as all 3 called scored only 5 goals.

Scotland is still unbeaten in this 2021 facing some poor teams but also managed to stop Netherlands 2-2 only 10 days ago.This game will be played in Hampden Park of Glasgow so the scottish national team will count on their hot fans atmosphere.

Czech Republic in other hand played regularly in almost every European competition so far.

I saw them in both previous friendlies against Italy and Albania. Despite winning the 2nd game they conceded some attacks and defense is still weak. In the 2nd game they played with all key players starting from gk Vaclik to best scorer Shick. Albania needed only 1-2 chances to score a goal and they even risk to draw it.

However they have more qualities than Scotland and in this Group can fight for a place in top 3.In Nations League Czech Republic lost 2 times against Scotland. So it's an opponent they are used to.

I predict a close game here but Scotland should take advantage of home stadium and they seems more organized in defense.

Probable lineups:

SCOTLAND (3-5-2): Marshall; Hendry, Hanley, Tierney; O'Donnell, McTominay, McGregor, McGinn, Robertson; Dykes, Adams.

CZECH REPUBLIC (4-2-3-1): Vaclík; Coufal, Čelůstka, Kalas, Bořil; Souček, Král; Masopust, Darida, Jankto; Schick.

GL!

苏格兰在23年后重返世界杯。他们上一次出场是在1998年的世界杯上。这一代球员和很多来自英超或其他英超联赛的球员相处得很好。

克拉克教练使用了一个非常具有防守性的3-5-2阵型，并以阿森纳的蒂尔尼、利物浦的罗伯逊、曼联的麦克托米奈和南安普顿的切·亚当斯等重要球员为基础。唯一的问题可能是前锋，因为3名球员都只进了5个球。

苏格兰在2021年的比赛中仍然保持不败，面对的是一些实力不强的球队，但就在10天前，苏格兰也成功地以2-2战胜了荷兰。这场比赛将在格拉斯哥的汉普顿公园进行，所以苏格兰国家队将依靠他们热烈的球迷氛围。

另一方面，到目前为止，捷克在几乎所有的欧洲赛事中都顺利参赛。

我在之前对阵意大利和阿尔巴尼亚的两场友谊赛中都看到过他们。尽管赢得了第二场比赛，他们还是失去了一些进攻和防守。在第二场比赛中，他们和从瓦克利克到最佳射手希克的所有关键球员一起比赛。阿尔巴尼亚只需要1-2次机会就能进一球，他们甚至冒着平局的风险。

然而，他们比苏格兰有更多的素质，在这个小组可以争取一个前三的位置。在国家联赛中，捷克共和国2次输给了苏格兰。所以这是他们习惯的对手。

我预测在这里会有一场势均力敌的比赛，但是苏格兰应该利用主场优势，他们的防守看起来更有组织。
