Netherlands Women vs Scotland Women predictions: More woe awaits Scots
&w=707&quality=100)
- Scotland Women already relegated from Nations League Group A1
- Netherlands Women will finish second in the pool
- Recommended bet: Netherlands Women to win to nil
Already-relegated Scotland Women go to Netherlands Women to finish what has been a miserable Nations League Group A1 campaign on Tuesday.
Friday's 1-0 home defeat against Austria in Melissa Andreatta's first game in charge means the Scots will finish bottom of the section and will be playing in Group B next time.
Netherlands Women failed to qualify for the Nations League finals after losing 4-0 to Germany on Friday and they are destined to finish in second place.
Team news
Netherlands head coach Andries Jonker could decide to rotate his squad for a game that has little riding on it.
Dominique Janssen, Chasity Grant and Wieke Kaptein are among those expected to retain their places in the XI, while Lynn Wilms, Sherida Spitse, Victoria Pelova and Danielle van de Donk, who all came off the bench against Germany on Friday, are pushing to start.
Scotland captain Rachel Corsie is due to retire following this match, so the centre-back will hope to be in the starting line-up for the visitors.
Andreatta is also expected to make changes with the likes of Mia McAulay, Martha Thomas and Emma Watson vying for places in her side.
The stats
Scotland Women have lost all five of their Nations League games this season.
Scotland Women have only scored two goals in their last seven matches and have lost three of their Nations League games in the group to nil.
Netherlands Women have won three of their five group games and won the earlier game in the competition between the two countries 2-1 away.
Netherlands Women have scored 10 goals in total in their five group games.
There have been three goals or more in three of the last four clashes between Netherlands Women and Scotland Women.
Netherlands Women have won the last five meetings between the two sides.
Prediction
Netherlands Women failed to trouble Germany Women on Friday when they went down 4-0 – a result which ended their hopes of topping the group and qualifying for the Nations League finals.
However, they should bounce back in convincing style against the Scots, who have endured a miserable campaign, losing all five matches so far.
While the Dutch will use this game as vital preparation for the upcoming European Championships, Scotland have failed to qualify, although new boss Andreatta has insisted guiding her side to a major tournament is among her key ambitions.
The Scots were disappointing against Austria on Friday when they were fortunate they only lost 1-0, and up against superior opponents on Tuesday in Tilburg they could be on the end of a chastening defeat.
