Scotland head coach Melissa Andreatta aims to carry some momentum into her first away game in charge despite suffering relegation from UEFA Women’s Nations League A in her debut.
The Australian saw her first match end in a 1-0 defeat by Austria to make it seven games without a win for Scotland.
But she was encouraged by elements of the second-half display ahead of the final game of the group, against the Netherlands in Tilburg on Tuesday.
Andreatta said on the Scottish Football Association website: “We’ve gone back and looked at the areas that we need to work on from the game on Friday and we’ll look to start against the Netherlands with the momentum that we saw in the second half against Austria.
“I think I have a good baseline now to understand where we’re at and some areas to work on to get where we want to be.
“I really believe in this group and what I want to see is a team that takes another step forward, that we’re on the front foot at the right moments in the game.”
Andreatta has called up Charlton full-back Charlotte Newsham from the under-23 squad after losing Amy Rodgers and Nicola Docherty.
