Scotland take on the visitors Ukraine in the semifinal match of FIFA World Cup qualifications. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 1st at Hampden Park (Glasgow).
Scotland were remembered for keeping a draw at Wembley with their neighbors-enemies, the English, but also for Schick's goal in their goal from the center of the field. However, in the qualification for the World Cup, Steve Clark's wards were really good. They are only 4 points behind Denmark (23 vs. 27), with a significant lead over Israel and Austria. In the spring, the Highlanders warmed up with the Poles and the same Austrians, playing friendly matches. Both fights ended in draws - 1-1 and 2-2. Now almost the optimal version of the composition has been assembled. Only Tierney, McClean and Frazier playing in the Premier League are missing. And then the latter has not been invited to the clip for quite some time.

Ukraine are in a unique situation. Due to war in the country, the Ukrainian Premier League has not resumed after the winter break. The leading clubs held friendly matches, but it is difficult to judge the real form of the players from them. And the “legionnaires” had problems with practice even at the best of times. Zinchenko, at least in the spring, more or less regularly played at Manchester City, and even gave an assist in the “golden” match. Only in the endings did Yarmolenko enter the field at West Ham. Potential leaders, Yaremchuk and Malinovsky, are not in the best shape. Marlos decided to quit, Kryvtsov, Kornienko and several other players are now injured. On the other hand, the motivation is outrageous - Petrakov, the head coach, also spoke about this. He also left out the final application of the "Dynamo" Boyko, Buyalsky, Garmash and Besedin. And it remains only to believe that he has a viable game plan.
Teams met in the framework of the qualification for Euro 2008. Then they exchanged confident home victories: 2-0 in Ukraine, 3-1 in Scotland. But then went the giants, Italy and France. Bookmakers tend to bet on Scotland to win. But Ukraine has accustomed to its fighting character, so we will choose the option with “both teams to score”
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
