Israel Preview – Can Israel bounce back?
Israel find themselves up against it in the early stages of their World Cup qualifying campaign as they suffered an opening 2-0 defeat at home to Denmark and they now face an upcoming clash against Scotland against whom they’ve played against a few times recently.
The hosts have won just two of their last 10 matches overall in all competitions, one of which was a 1-0 home win over Scotland in the Nations League back in November last year, while seven of Israel’s last 10 matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals as well.
The prospects of a home win here though do seem to appear to be slim as Israel have lost six of their last seven matches in World Cup qualifiers, losing their last four on the trot at home with five of their last eight matches being under 2.5 goals.
Scotland Preview – Can Scotland build on promising start?
Although Scotland’s winless run in international matches extended to three games they picked up a useful point in their opening group match against Austria 2-2 and they’ll be looking to build upon that result when they come up against Israel again on Sunday.
Their last visit to Israel ended in a narrow 1-0 defeat but they’ll be hopeful that they can grab at least a point here as they’ve put together a decent looking seven-match unbeaten run in World Cup qualifiers.
The Scots have also lost just twice in their last seven matches on their travels too, so another tight game could be on the cards on Sunday evening with both teams looking to add to their points tally.
