Portugal will face Scotland in the UEFA Nations League A group stage on September 8, with the match kicking off at 19:45 Portugal local time.
Portugal and Scotland meet again six years after their last encounter, a friendly match in which Portugal won 3-1. Portugal comes into this match after a defeat to France on July 5, and with their forwards under pressure, having failed to score in their last three games.
Scotland, on the other hand, is preparing for this match following a loss to Hungary on June 23. They are on a four-game winless streak and need to address their defensive issues, as they have conceded goals in their last five consecutive away matches.
