Scotland vs Israel Predictions

• Scotland have kept clean sheets in three of their last five competitive matches
• Israel have conceded 11 goals in their last four games
• Scotland have lost only one of their six World Cup qualifying matches

Tartan Army can continue march into historic World Cup

After making their first major tournament since 1998 at Euro 2020, Scotland are edging closer to defying expectations with qualification for next year’s World Cup in Qatar.

Steve Clarke’s men are second in Group F, seven points adrift of runaway leaders Denmark but one point ahead of third-placed Israel, who they face at Hampden Park in a crucial match-up this week.

Victory for the Scots would put them on the brink of a top-two berth and they are worth backing to do just that.

Clarke’s men battled bravely to edge Austria 1-0 last time out and even in their away fixture with Denmark they gave a decent account of themselves, only losing 2-0 to a side who battered Israel 5-0.

Scotland have only shipped five goals throughout the whole qualifying campaign and in a cagey affair of this kind, their defensive know-how could see them through.

The Tartan Army have three qualifying wins to their name and can take that tally to four with a victory.

These sides have clashed three times since last October and all of their meetings have featured under 2.5 goals.

With that in mind, the best correct score prediction for this one could be 1-0 to Scotland, who have won each of their last two fixtures by that scoreline.
