Scotland vs Israel Prediction & Betting tips
Tuesday night, at 19:45, Scotland and Israel meet in the last round of the C-series of the UEFA League, and the stakes are huge for the hosts. With a victory to more than one goal difference, Alex McLeish’s team will get promotion in the second value prize.
Scotland comes after an easy game won against Albania, and Tuesday’s victory would propel the white-blue band in front of Israel, which has 6 points in group 1, after three games (goal 4-2). Before the weekend, Scotland had only three points against Albania, but the last few days have rekindled promotional hopes for Alex McLeish’s players. The selector can save his post with a victory early next week, after he was strongly challenged in recent months.
Israel has scored 11 goals in the last 3 games.
Thus, Scotland will be motivated to enter the field with an offensive mentality, knowing that the positive result can be sent to the B series. Israel, on the other hand, knows that any goal scored on Hampden Park will erase the hopes of the hosts, so it deserves we are counting on a successful match on both sides, given the context of this game. On the tour, in Haifa, Israel won 2-1, after the Scots opened the score in the first half. The guests played very weak in the second half, they dominated and received the two decisive goals. This time, we expect a more vigorous performance of our favorites.
In fact, two of the last three direct games ended with goals on both sides, the victory being awarded every time by the host team. It happened on the tour, when it was 2-1 for Israel, but also in a 1981 match, when Scotland got home 3-1. Israel is a good moral team after the three consecutive victories last month: 2-1 with Scotland, 2-0 with Albania and 7-0 with Guatemala (friendly match). In the case of the Scot, three of their last four games ended with at least three scored goals, the expected outcome once again.
