Scotland vs Israel Predictions

On October 8, all eyes of the fans will be turned to Glasgow, where you will have a chance to check our Scotland vs Israel predictions. These two teams are battling to qualify for Euro 2020, as a part of Path C play-off.

That means that one of Norway, Serbia, Scotland or Israel will earn their place at the tournament courtesy of winning through the play-off system, entering into Group D against competition favourites England, World Cup finalists Croatia and the Czech Republic.

Scotland and Israel will contest their play-off semi-final in the Scottish capital on October 8, and as most of the matches right now, it will be played without fans.

It will be cold too, and this will be a unique atmosphere for the Israeli players to have to deal with. They weren’t all that impressive in qualifying either, so is this a simple and straightforward home win in the offing?

Let’s find out in our Scotland vs Israel match preview.

1. Scotland vs Israel Betting Odds

The Scotland vs Israel betting odds have been released, and we were pleasantly surprised to see the Scots available at a price as long as 2.4 at bet365. As we will find out in the rest of this preview, that is excellent value.

However, bettors who want to go against the grain can back Israel at 3.25, while the draw is available at 3.30 at bet365.

Then of course we have the ‘To Qualify’ market, which settles bets even if the match goes to extra time or penalties. In this category, Scotland is also a favourite.

2. Scotland vs Israel Preview

Neither of these teams are exactly regulars in major international football tournaments, and that explains the importance of this match.

Looking at Euro 2020 qualifying, we would surmise that Scotland are in better shape right now.

Yes, they lost home and away to Belgium, but there’s no shame in that, and they also lost to a Russian side who were on a high after their World Cup exploits on home soil. Despite an empty stadium, Scottish coach - Steve Clarke - believes that many fans will follow the game closely.

We just have to accept that and make sure that no matter who is in the stadium, the supporters will be somewhere safe, socially distancing and we can give them something to smile about at the end of the night. For the original tie in March, we sold 50,000 tickets, there was going to be a big interest and we knew they would be there to help us. They won’t be there in body but they will be there in spirit. - Steve Clarke during his press conference

But Scotland beat Cyprus home and away and that’s a positive, and they did what was expected of them against Kazakhstan and San Marino too.

Another advantage that Scotland has on Israel is that they have some excellent players with experience at an elite-level. Andy Robertson is part of a Champions League and Premier League winning squad at Liverpool, while Kieran Tierney has also played lots of Champions League football.

John McGinn was a revelation in the Premier League last season until he got injured, while John Fleck and Oli McBurnie have shown their quality in the English top-flight too.

Israel, with just eleven points in qualifying, have to consider themselves lucky to even be in the play-offs.

They did beat Austria, which is a feather in their cap, but they lost four of their five away games and that shows that they do not travel well. Ahead of a trip to a fierce Glasgow welcome, that does not bode well.

3. Scotland vs Israel Betting Tips

Man for man, Scotland are a better side than Israel and they are pretty reliable on home soil too.

The home team have to be supported in our Scotland vs Israel betting tips, and actually just looking at the prices we can say that the 2.40 available on a Scots win is outstanding value.

Israel kept just one clean sheet in ten qualification matches, and that goes to show the weaknesses that exist in their team.

So there’s no need to pursue any other bets: it’s a Scotland win for us.
