Scotland are sitting in a strong position going into their next batch of World Cup qualifiers on TV this week with Israel up next.

The Scots are second in Group F, seven points adrift of a dominant Denmark but four points ahead of fourth-placed Austria.

That leaves Scotland and Israel in second and third respectively with one point between them and a huge encounter up next at Hampden Park.

Victory for Scotland would solidify their position in second with a four-point gap and just three games to go. Steve Clarke will ensure his men are well aware of how critical this match is.

Israel were hammered 5-0 by Denmark last time out but dished out two routs of their own in a 4-0 victory over Faroe Islands and a shock 5-2 win over Austria during the last break.

Our prediction: Scotland v Israel

Scotland’s World Cup dreams could take a huge stride towards becoming a reality this weekend. A victory would put them in prime position to progress.

Clarke’s men are not the most entertaining around, but they are a tough nut to crack. They have conceded just five goals in the campaign so far, less than half of every other team – aside from Denmark – in Group F.

A clean sheet of any description would be a superb result for Scotland here, it would ensure they remain in the driving seat, but a victory would show some ambition.

Our prediction: Scotland 1-0 Israel (5/1 at bet365).
