It has been a challenging start to the Nations League for Scotland, as they have failed to build any momentum since crashing out in the group stage at EURO 2024.
Croatia will be their opponents this weekend. Luka Modric’s side has won once in two outings, and a victory on Saturday could potentially send them to the top of the League A Group 1 standings.

Scotland held their own against Portugal in their previous international outing.
