Scotland and Curacao are preparing for a historic World Cup appearance this summer and play an international friendly on Saturday in Glasgow with an eye on finetuning their squads. This match at Hampden Park gives the Scots and the ‘Blue Wave’ a chance to show that they aren’t just making up numbers in North America this summer. Scotland’s recent home games have been full of goals, and our prediction is for more than 2.5 goals.
The ‘Tartan Army’ will hope their home team can continue its impressive form in the qualification campaign. Scotland topped their group in the UEFA qualifiers, finishing above Denmark, with four wins out of six (D1, L1) and earning their first World Cup appearance since 1998.
Curacao are taking baby steps in the global world of football and will be making their World Cup debut this year. The return of Dutch tactician Dick Advocaat to the helm brings confidence as they went unbeaten under him in the qualifiers. Are the Scots in for a major shock before the global tournament?

Scotland - Curacao: Form Analysis
Scotland are coming off consecutive 1-0 defeats in the two international friendlies they played in the months of March and April against Japan and Ivory Coast. While the quality of opponent they play here is remarkably different, the Scots should be worried about the drop in form.
Coach Steve Clarke is busy finalising his squad composition and will do well to drill down on the fact that Scotland have ended the qualifiers with four wins out of their last five.
Four of the last five games at this venue produced over 2.5 goals.
Curacao will welcome Dick Advocaat back as their manager, with the Dutch tactician replacing Fred Rutten. It was under Advocaat that they went unbeaten in the qualifiers (W7, D3) to earn their ticket to this World Cup.
The ‘Blue Wave’ couldn’t lift their performances in March, losing to China (2-0) and Australia (5-1). Scotland will present a challenge of that stature, although the positive vibes of Advocaat’s return are driving the visitors.

Scotland & Curacao Squad Analysis
Scotland have named their World Cup squad, which will be the same used in this friendly. The return of Ross Stewart after a four-year international absence is the big news, while the selection of teenage Rangers winger Findlay Curtis gives the manager Clarke a refreshing option.
The Scots have usually lined up with a single striker, either in a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-1-4-1 formation. That could leave Lyndon Dykes or Che Adams as their sole striker, while the prolific Scott McTominay is likely to slot right behind.
McTominay has two goals and an assist in six World Cup qualifiers.
Curacao have also finalised their 26-member squad, spearheaded by their midfield duo of Leandro Bacuna and Juninho Bacuna. Leandro’s next appearance will make him the nation’s most-capped player, while he also remains their second-highest scorer of all time.
The usual system that the Caribbean Islands have employed is a 4-3-3 formation, although they show equal fluidity to line up in a 4-2-3-1 system. One well-known name for the UK football fans is Tahith Chong, formerly of Manchester United, with the winger looking to add to his tally of two goals from four caps for Curacao.
Scotland - Curacao Key Points
- Four of Scotland’s last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
- Scotland scored 2+ goals in five of their last seven matches.
- Five of Scotland’s last seven home matches have returned three or more goals.
- Two of Curacao’s last four matches have seen over six goals scored.

Our Scotland vs Curacao Prediction
Both teams are building towards what would be a historic World Cup appearance in the upcoming global tournament. Scotland are bracing for a first World Cup appearance since 1998, while Curacao have never played in the global tournament finals. This is the first ever match between these sides, but with neither side showing any remarkable form, it remains an open game.
Scotland’s recent trend of high-scoring games at home could continue in this outing, and our Scotland vs Curacao prediction is more than 2.5 goals.
Scotland vs Curacao Alternative Predictions
Draw
Curacao will be happy to see the return of Dick Advocaat, with the Dutch manager losing only two games in charge of the team (W11, D5, L2). Is that enough to unsettle the Scots? A run of eight defeats in their last 13 international friendlies (W2, D3) doesn’t inspire confidence, but the hosts are unlikely to lose. A draw could be a surprise result.
