Croatia Worth A Punt Against Injured Scotland



Scotland v Croatia – Live on Sky Sports 2, k/o 8:00pm

Scotland's match against Croatia could prove pivotal to the national team's attempt to qualify for the World Cup. That is according to new manager George Burley, who believes that his side can make a good start with their preparations for their first qualifying game in September this year when they face Croatia.

Burley has a number of selection headaches for his first game in charge of the national side. No less than seven members of his squad have been forced to withdraw due to injury, although this gives the opportunity for numerous fringe players to stake their claim for a regular berth.

The game is the first of three friendlies for Burley, with only two more encounters against Czech Republic and Northern Ireland to come before they begin their World Cup qualifying campaign. However, Scotland will have their work cut out against Croatia.

Croatia proved themselves to be serious contenders for Euro 2008, having beaten England twice and looking excellent during the qualification stages.

Croatia have been priced as favourites, best priced 7/5 with Boyles, a price that looks worth taking, meanwhile Scotland are at 11/5 with William Hill to make a winning start to Burley’s reign.
