Scotland will look to add three points to their tally when they play host to Israel in the next round of matches in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. They go to this game placed second with 11 points and in second place while Israel, who have 10 points are third. The Scots revived their campaign with two straight wins in the last international break and they go to this crucial encounter looking to keep their hopes alive. In the last five matches, they have three clean sheets but they’ve conceded two goals or more in three of the last six matches. It is at home that they have a great run, winning six and keeping six clean sheets in their last nine matches in World Cup qualifiers.

Israel are coming to this game straight from a 5-0 beating by group leaders Denmark. They’ll however want to view this game as a winnable clash, having registered three wins in their last five matches. Israel will need to address their defensive issues though, having conceded two or more goals in three of their last four matches. They have one clean sheet only in the last five matches but have scored three or more goals in three of five matches. Each of their last six matches has actually produced over 2.5 goals. In World Cup qualification, Israel have three wins in four matches and they have scored three or more in the three wins there. They go to this game with injuries to key players and will not be able to play at full strength.
