Israel vs Scotland Soccer Betting Tips – UEFA Nations League
Never present in a major international meeting since the 1970 World Cup, Israel has still not managed to play the slightest Euro. Fairly weak on the European scene, this selection from the Middle East did not appear at all well in its qualifying group, finishing only in 5th place behind Poland, Austria, North Macedonia, Slovenia and only ahead of Latvia. Beaten in the semi-finals last month by Scotland precisely, the Israelis were then defeated by the Czech Republic (1-2) before recovering against Slovakia (2-3). This weekend, they lost again by a short margin against the Czech Republic (1-0) and are now only one point ahead of the red lantern of this pool, Slovakia.
Opposite, Scotland was finally able to validate its last good months of competition by obtaining the last ticket for the Euro this week. Indeed, the British took the upper hand over Serbia on penalties (1-1, 4-5 TAB) in the play-off final on Thursday and they will make their major tournament comeback for the first time since the 1998 World Cup. Qualifying group for the Euro behind Belgium and Russia, the British still edged Cyprus, Kazakhstan and San Marino to reach the play-offs where they dominated in the semi-finals Israel last month. Then, Steve Clarke’s men beat Slovakia (1-0) than the Czech Republic (1-0) to take the lead of their group. On Sunday, however, they marked time against Slovakia (1-0) and they only have a small point ahead of the Czech Republic at the top of this group.
Staff for Israel vs Scotland
Israel records the defections of important Celtic players Abd-Elhamed and Bitton who tested positive for Covid and are therefore absent from this rally. On top of that, defenders Menachem and Tawatha (Maccabi Haifa) are out of shape. On the other hand, the usual holders Marciano (Hibernian), Tibi (Maccabi Tel Aviv), Dasa (Vitesse), Natkho (Partizan), and forwards Zahavi (PSV), Dabbur (Hoffenheim), Solomon (Shakhtar) could start this meeting.
For its part, Scotland can count on its few stars, to begin with, the residents or former Premier League such as Cooper (Leeds), Hanley (Norwich), Palmer (Sheffield United), Tierney (Arsenal), Armstrong (Southampton), McGinn (Aston Villa), Mc Tominay (Man U), Burke (Sheffield United) or Fraser (Newcastle). Note also the presence of Celtic players such as Taylor, Christie, McGregor and Griffihs and that of Rangers Jack. Too fair on Sunday evening following muscle fatigue, the star of this team Robertson (Liverpool) could make his return for this part on the left side of the defence.
