Over 1.5 goals at Scotland vs Ukraine 1/2 for Wednesday’s Nations League showdown

Competition: Nations League

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

In what could be an enjoyable affair on Wednesday night, Scotland will host Ukraine when the Nations League makes its return in midweek.

Starting with the hosts, managing to make a welcomed return to winning ways back in June, Scotland will now be seeking some stability. In their opening three Nations League matchups this year, they have recorded two victories against a single defeat, scoring six and conceding four in return. Managing to muster a points tally of six from a possible nine, they open the midweek fixtures sat second in League B and with their sights firmly set on clinching a promotion this time around. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 4-1 victory away at Armenia, Scotland have managed to win just a pair of their previous six matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Wednesday’s hosts have seen each of their last eight contests finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, while Ukraine might have missed out on the chance to book their World Cup ticket, they are enjoying a largely impressive run of form. In their opening three Nations League matchups this year, they have recorded two victories against a single draw, shipping five and conceding just one in return. Managing to muster a points tally of seven from a possible nine, they open the midweek fixtures sat at the top of the League B table and holding a one-point buffer over Wednesday’s opponents. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against Ireland, Ukraine have lost just one of their previous 15 straight matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should be noted, with 14 of their last 17 matchups seeing over 1.5 goals by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
