The return of UEFA’S Nations League means a quick reunion for two teams in Scotland vs Ukraine on Wednesday.

However, the Ukrainians failed to reach the finals when they were beaten 1-0 by Wales in the next play-off round.

Now the teams meet again in Scotland vs Ukraine in their fourth round of fixtures in the competition’s League B Group 1 at Hampden Park in Glasgow, with kick-off at 2:45 pm ET.

At DraftKings, Scotland is a narrow favorite for a home win at +155 – with its mood lifted by a 4-1 away win in Armenia in its most recent fixture in the Nations League.

Furthermore, Ukraine is unbeaten but is priced at +185, having drawn 1-1 in the Nations League in the Republic of Ireland last time out.

The draw is +205.

The previous meeting on June 1 marked the resumption of international fixtures by Ukraine following its invasion by Russia.

Ukraine leads the group ahead of Scotland vs Ukraine after two wins and a draw with seven points.

Meanwhile, Scotland is in second place following two wins and one defeat with six points.

Over/Under & Spread

Although Scotland hit four goals last time out against Armenia, neither of these teams has been particularly prolific in this group.

Ukraine has five goals from three games while Scotland has six.

To find any value in the total goals market is tricky with the best option being the + 135 offered for there to be three goals or more (Over 2.5).

Meanwhile, few goals are expected in Scotland vs Ukraine in the spread market either.

Here Ukraine is offered at +135 to win by one goal or more (Asian Handicap -0.25).

Che Adams to Score Odds

Southampton forward Che Adams scored in Scotland’s 4-1 defeat of Armenia.

He is the favorite to get on the score sheet in Scotland vs Ukraine at +210 – with +450 offered for Adams to be the first goal scorer or the last goal scorer.

In total, he has hit 15 goals in 19 appearances for his country.

Adams’ Southampton teammate – the midfielder Stuart Armstrong – scored twice against Armenia and is priced at +300 to score in Scotland vs Ukraine – and at +750 to score first or last.

The second favorite to score is Ukraine’s Benfica striker Roman Yaremchuk.

He has yet to score in this edition of the Nations League after injury restricted him to just one appearance so far.

However, he has a total of 13 goals in 39 games for Ukraine and is priced at +230 to score in Scotland vs Ukraine.

To be first or last goalscorer, he is priced at +500.

Yaremchuk also has one goal in three league appearances for Benfica in Portugal so far this season.

Scotland vs Ukraine Pick

 Neutrals will all hope for a Ukraine win in this game, given the situation in the war-torn country.

 However, the Scots are capable of avenging their World Cup play-off defeat last June.

 That makes it likely that the in-form Che Adams will get on the scoresheet and he is a good pick to do so at +210.

 Pick: Che Adams to score (+210)
