Prediction for England vs Scotland

Now, a 2-0 defeat against the Czech Republic wasn’t a true reflection of how the Scots actually performed. If only they had taken their chances, the scoreline would have read differently.

Football, however, isn’t a game of what would have been and if they are to stand any chance of coming out with three points, their forwards need to test the English backline.

Although that isn’t going to be a cakewalk by any stretch of the imagination as England have conceded just five goals in their last 10 matches (including both qualifiers and friendlies).

The Three Lions have a better-equipped squad, to say the least. They have the players who can unlock tight defenses and will have the Wembley crowd behind them too.

A 3-0 win for England is expected on Friday.
