The Tartan Army have rediscovered their rhythm at home, winning four competitive matches in a row at Hampden without conceding. Confidence is building within a balanced squad that mixes experienced heads like Andy Robertson and Scott McTominay with emerging talents such as Lewis Ferguson and Billy Gilmour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With momentum on their side, Scotland will be expected to dictate the tempo and test a Belarus defence that has leaked goals throughout the group stage. A quick start could make all the difference as they aim to stay on course for next year\u2019s finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Belarus find themselves rooted to the bottom of the group and struggling for form. They\u2019ve yet to record a win in qualifying and have endured issues at both ends of the pitch \u2014 too easy to break down defensively and lacking a consistent goal threat in attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their approach is likely to be cautious in Glasgow, sitting deep and attempting to frustrate the hosts. However, with Scotland\u2019s pace and width, maintaining that structure for 90 minutes will be a huge test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scotland-team-news\">Scotland team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scotland face a few selection challenges ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Belarus, with Ryan Christie and Lewis Ferguson suspended due to accumulated yellow cards. Aaron Hickey is also a doubt after picking up a knee injury in the recent 3\u20111 win over Greece. In their absence, Ben Gannon\u2011Doak is expected to slot into the starting lineup, while Max Johnston has been called up to bolster the defensive options. Young midfielder Lennon Miller remains part of the squad and could feature off the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-belarus-team-news\">Belarus team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Belarus are likely to stick with a defensive approach as they travel to Hampden Park, aiming to frustrate the hosts and exploit counterattacking opportunities. Maxim Skavysh and Roman Yuzepchuk are expected to lead the attack, supported by midfielders Sergey Kislyak and Vitali Lisakovich, as they look to make life difficult for Scotland despite their struggles in the group so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head-last-5-meetings\">Head to head: Last 5 meetings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"\" data-align=\"center\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Competition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">08\/09\/2025<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Belarus 0-2 Scotland<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">World Cup qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">08\/10\/2005<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Scotland 0-1 Belarus<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">World Cup qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">08\/06\/2005<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Belarus 0-0 Scotland<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">World Cup qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">07\/09\/1997<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Scotland 4-1 Belarus<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">World Cup qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">08\/06\/1997<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Belarus 0-1 Scotland<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">World Cup qualifying<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scotland could secure a World Cup play-off spot as soon as Sunday evening, or even move clear at the top of their group with two games remaining. Their impressive 1\u20110 win over Greece on Thursday means a victory against Belarus at Hampden would give them 10 points from four qualifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Greece travel to Denmark in a must-win game, having already dropped points against Scotland. If Greece lose and Scotland beat Belarus, the Scots would be firmly in control of Group C, with Denmark level on points but behind on goal difference. A draw or win for Greece keeps them in contention, but a Scottish victory would put Steve Clarke\u2019s side on the brink of their first men\u2019s World Cup since 1998. Backing the hosts to win to Nil at 4\/6 looks the wise play here.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scotland return to Hampden Park on Sunday 12th October (5pm kick-off) for a key World Cup Qualifier against Belarus.
