• Israel have seen over 2.5 goals in all of their last 6 matches in all competitions.

Betting Tip: Draw

Scotland injured a pair of wins in the last international break over Moldova and Austria to put them 2nd in the group behind runaway leaders Denmark. This game is a crucial one for the Tartan Army as opponents Israel are just a point behind them, however the Scots still have to play Denmark whereas Israel have already played them twice.

Although Israel games have been relatively high scoring, under 2.5 goals is just 4/6 at Hampden Park. It’s understandable though given Steve Clarke’s side tends to play on fine margins and try nick a game by the odd goal. Grant Hanley is the only emission at the back and although he’s excelled of late for the national team his club form with Norwich has been poor. Jack Hendry could therefore step in after impressing at Club Brugge recently.

There’s a fair argument that both sides won’t want to lose this one. If Scotland do then Israel jump ahead of them in the table but if Israel do then they’re a worrying 4 points off 2nd spot. Therefore the draw looks a strong runner at a decent price of 5/2. 3 of the last 4 meetings between the pair have ended all square and group dynamics may see another stalemate on Saturday evening.
