Scotland vs. Israel Tip & Quotas, 09.10.2021 – 18:00 – World Cup Qualification Europe
In group F, a duel between Scotland and Israel has emerged for second place in the standings. The place in the sun will most likely go to the sovereign Danes. The winner of the duel between the Scots and the Israelis puts himself in a very good starting position in the fight for 2nd place. The “Bravehearts” claim this for themselves at the moment and enjoy the home right even in a direct duel. This will take place on Sunday at 18:00 in Hampden Park. Whether a win of the Scots makes sense as a betting tip, it is necessary to clarify in the following World Cup betting forecast.

Scotland had to prove its skills in Austria. All odds pointed to a threesome of the hosts before the kick-off. The home team got off to a better start and were in the game from the start and developed a move to the goal without appearing compelling. With increasing playing time, the pace of the alpine kickers was increasingly lost. After a foul in Martin Hinteregger’s penalty area, which celebrated his 29th birthday, the visitors were awarded a penalty. Dykes turned it into a 1-0 break. After the change of sides, Austria showed no great will and continued to struggle. After a wrangling between Hinteregger and Grant Hanley, the birthday boy went down. However, the var check did not result in a penalty. The Scots were defensively secure and barely allowed any chances. In the end, it remained close to 1-0.
In any case, the “Bravehearts” show a clear upward trend. After all, three of the last four qualifying duels were victorious. Only the leader from Denmark had to accept a defeat. With a total of three wins, two draws and one defeat, eleven points have been scored so far. This yield puts the Scots in second place. The gap to the Danes is seven points. On the pursuer from Israel there is a cushion of a counter. John McGinn scored three of the previous nine qualifying goals.
The Scots were represented at eight World Championships finals and have never survived them. The “Bravehearts” thus confidently lead the ranking of the exit in the 1st round.

On the last qualifying day, the Israelis had the thankless task of proving their skills at the top of the table from Denmark. The European semi-finalist almost had to settle for a delay by Israel after ten minutes. However, the goal did not count due to an offside position. In the following period, no spectacle was offered on both sides until Poulsen dusted off after 28 minutes to lead the home team. The visitors were swayed and scored two more goals before the break through Kjaer and Olsen. The meeting was already decided for the break. After the side change the Danes wanted more and came in the 57th minute through the former Dortmund Delaney to the 4:0. Corneluis made the final score in the second period with a 5-0 lead.
A devastating defeat from the guests’ point of view. They lost three consecutive wins and one draw. The success stories resulted against Austria (5:2), the Faroe Islands (4:0) and Moldova (4:1). The team of coach Willi Ruttensteiner slipped into third place due to the clear defeat on the previous day. After all, ten points should be achieved so far. The backlog to the bulkheads amounts to one counter. In the event of a victory, rank 2 would be fixed for the time being.
In addition to Denmark, Israel impresses with the best offensive network in the group. A total of 14 goals were scored. Eran Zahavi was the only one to score six hits.
Only once did the Israelis qualify for the World Cup final round. This was the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. But after the preliminary round against Uruguay, Sweden and Italy, it was over.

Based on the odds, no real favorite tip can be concluded. However, due to the home advantage, the Scots show a slightly lower victory rate. After all, the “Bravehearts” are undefeated in front of home scenery (2 wins, one draw). Israel should not be underestimated in the distance, however, and won two out of three long-distance duels in group F. Only once did a defeat come against Denmark. Two of the three home games against Israel were won by Scotland. What is striking here, however, is that goals were scored on both sides in all three home games. Generally speaking, in five out of six encounters between the Scots and the Israelis, both teams always met. As part of our World Cup betting forecast, it is advisable to bet on the market “both teams meet”.
