The term "2 (away +2) handicap" refers to a handicap system commonly used in sports betting or competitions. In this case, it suggests that one team or individual (referred to as the "away" team) is given a 2-point advantage at the beginning of the match to even out the playing field against the other team (referred to as the "home" team). Essentially, the away team starts the game with a hypothetical score of 2-0 before the match even begins. This type of handicap is used to create more balanced odds for betting purposes or to make competitions fairer when there is a significant difference in skill levels between the two teams.

If you have bet on a 2 (away +2) handicap for a match between Spain (home team) and Scotland (away team), it means that you are placing a bet on Scotland to win or at least lose by a margin of 2 goals or less.
In this scenario, the "away +2" part of the handicap suggests that Scotland starts the game with a hypothetical scoreline of 2-0 in their favor. This means that if the final result of the match is in favor of Spain, but the goal difference is less than 2 goals (e.g., Spain wins 3-2 or 2-1), you would still win your bet because Scotland, with the hypothetical +2 handicap, would have a higher adjusted score.
However, if Spain wins by a margin greater than 2 goals (e.g., 3-0 or 4-1), then your bet would result in a loss because the real scoreline, after considering the handicap, would still show Spain as the winner.
