Scotland vs. Curaçao: First Ever Clash!
30 May
Summary
- Scotland and Curaçao meet for the first time.
- Curaçao aims for their first win against a European nation.
- Shankland has scored 48 goals in the Scottish Premiership since 2023-24.
Scotland and Curaçao will make history as they face each other for the first time on the international football stage. This match represents Curaçao's sixth encounter with a North/Central American opponent.
Curaçao has a notable history of struggling against European nations, with five losses and only one draw in previous meetings. Scotland itself has not secured a victory against North/Central American teams in their last six attempts, with three draws and three losses since 2004.
Scotland has experienced a dip in form, losing three of their last four matches. They have also failed to score in their last two games. In contrast, Lawrence Shankland has been a standout performer, scoring 48 goals in the Scottish Premiership since the start of the 2023-24 season. He recently scored in his last appearance for Scotland and will aim for consecutive goals for the first time.
Curaçao's recent results include two losses, but they had a six-match unbeaten streak in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying prior to that. Gervane Kastaneer was their leading scorer in that campaign.
