Slovakia vs Scotland betting tips and predictions for tonight’s World Cup 2018 qualifying with three football tips including a BTTS bet and anytime goalscorer.
As the Internationals continue, there’s a final batch of games on Tuesday evening. Scotland made the journey to Slovakia as they desperately seek three points. We’ve got the best three bets for the match.
There was disappointment for Gordon Strachan and his side on Saturday evening as they dropped points at home to Lithuania. Starting at around 4/11, many people expected Scotland to win easily and they had their chances. They couldn’t find a way through and were punished at the other end. A late James McCarthy goal levelled matters, but it leaves them behind leaders England in the group and they will be looking for a positive result here. Slovakia also desperately need the points following a very disappointing start to their qualifying campaign. They’ve lost both of their games 1-0, falling to late goals in encounters with England and Slovenia. It’s now four games without a goal for Slovakia and they need to rediscover the kind of firepower which saw them beat Russia at the Euros and see off Germany in a friendly earlier this year.
Slovakia vs Scotland Betting Predictions
Scotland can’t be backed away from home. They’ve only beaten Gibraltar and Malta in competitive away matches recently and it’s hard to see them leaving here with three points. Slovakia aren’t scoring though and aren’t at their confidence best. A draw seems a logical outcome and that’s my first Slovakia vs Scotland prediction for tonight.

Both Teams to Score Tips
With a lack of cutting edge in both sides, this might not be a classic. Scotland lacked bite to see off Lithuania and it’s hard to see too many goals from this Slovakia side so both teams to score? No, seems a logical bet for our next Slovakia vs Scotland betting tip in the World Cup qualifier tonight.

Anytime Goalscorer Prediction
Robert Mak started in the game against Slovenia and he’s had a great season with Zenit St Petersburg who are scoring goals for fun. He could be the man to break the deadlock and complete our Slovakia vs Scotland tips today.

Slovakia vs Scotland Team News
Slovakia are hoping to have Martin Skrtel back in the side. He picked up a red card and then missed the game at the weekend with a broken nose. The former Liverpool defender is likely to be restored to the starting 11 if fit enough. Marek Hamsik and Robert Mak are the dangermen in the side.
Leigh Griffiths may get the chance to show his goalscoring ability in Slovakia. He came on as a sub on Saturday as Scotland desperately searched for an equaliser. He could replace Chris Martin, who worked tirelessly, but struggled up front on his own. There are injury concerns over Russell Martin, Darren Fletcher and Callum Paterson, who could all miss out here.
Slovakia vs Scotland Head to Head
These two teams are meeting for the first time.
Slovakia vs Scotland Betting Odds
Slovakia start as favourites for this match and being at home, they have an obvious advantage. They can be backed at around 5/4 with most bookmakers. Scotland start at around 13/5 whilst the draw is priced up at around 21/10. It’s the Slovakian Players who lead the way in the goalscoring market with Marek Hamsik the favourite at around 21/10 to score anytime. Goals will be sparse if you believe the prices with Under 2.5 goals around 1/2 with most firms.
