After 28 years, the Scots are back at the World Cup. Their first rival will be arguably the weakest team in the tournament, Haiti. Though knowing history, the Tartan Army can’t relax and take this one for granted.

Haiti Stats & Team News

Les Grenadiers are riding high after a stunning 4-0 warm-up rout over New Zealand. Though, a few days later, this unit lost to Peru 1-2, which was their second defeat in the past 5 meetings.

This unit has no experience in tournaments like this one. They didn’t post some notable results away from home, and that’ll be a huge problem for Sebastien Migne’s crew.

Likely Lineup: (4-3-3) Placide; Arcus, Duverne, Innocent, Lacroix; Alceus, Pierre; Nazon, Pierrot, Isidor.

Scotland Stats & Team News

Billy Gilmour is out, but overall, the Scots have been more or less solid in the previous two tests. After beating Curacao, 4-1, we saw them smash Bolivia, 4-0. We agree these aren’t top-tier teams, but on the other hand, scoring 8 goals deserves respect.

Scotland played highly efficient games back in the last several months, as 6 of the previous 8 ended with over 2.5 hits. Also, in 7 of the previous 9, we saw them netting at least twice.

Likely Lineup: (3-4-2-1) Gunn; Porteous, Hendry, Tierney; Ralston, McTominay, McGregor, Robertson; McGinn, Christie; Shankland.
