Scotland vs Curacao prediction
Steve Clarke will stay on until FIFA World Cup 2030. Scotland supporters have mixed views on their manager, despite the fact he ended their hiatus from major international tournaments with qualification for UEFA EURO 2020 and UEFA EURO 2024 – as well as ending their 28-year wait to be back at a FIFA World Cup.
Curacao will be at their first ever FIFA World Cup this summer. The tiny Caribbean island are the smallest country, both by size and population to ever qualify, utilising their connection with the Netherlands to use dual-nationals. Dick Advocaat led them before leaving, only to return to the managerial post earlier this month.
Curacao may well prove to be more stubborn opposition than many expect but they remain very limited and Scotland, preparing in particular for Haiti in their opening group game, should come out on top at Hampden Park.
Scotland vs Curacao tip: Scotland to win to nil
