Gibraltar will face Scotland at the Estádio Algarve on Monday in a friendly clash between the two teams. Team 54 endured an abysmal run of results in the European Championship Qualifiers last year and will be looking to bounce back from that as they gear up for the UEFA Nations League later in the year.
They were beaten 1-0 by Lithuania in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target throughout the match.
Scotland, meanwhile, are set to play in the 2024 Euros this summer and will begin their preparations for the tournament on Monday. They were beaten 1-0 by Northern Ireland in their last match, failing to capitalize on their possessional dominance as they fell to a first defeat against the Green and White Army since 1983.
Following Monday's game, the Tartan Army will face Finland before kicking off their continental campaign against hosts Germany midway through the month.

Gibraltar vs Scotland Prediction
Gibraltar are on an abysmal 12-game losing streak stretching back to last March. They are without a win on the road since 2020 and could struggle here.
Scotland are on a run of back-to-back defeats and are without a win in their last seven games across all competitions. They have had their struggles on the road of late but should have more than enough to triumph against significantly weaker opposition on Monday.
Prediction: Gibraltar 0-3 Scotland
