Scotland vs Slovakia
Hampden Park will be jumping on Thursday when the Scotland braves take on Slovakia in a crucial World Cup Qualifiers Group F meeting.
This is only the second meeting between these two, Zenit St Petersburg’s Robert Mak having scored twice in a convincing 3-0 home win when the Scots travelled to Slovakia last year. And this game will be a nail-biter.
Scotland is available at betting odds of 2.38 to win, with Slovakia at 3.00 and 3.05 the draw. It’s a tester for online betting players and promises to be a cracking game for neutrals and fanatics alike. The Scots can move into second place with a win over their visitors, assuming of course England do their job against Slovenia.
They are certainly coming up on the rails with ten points from the last four fixtures in Group F, while Slovakia’s three-match winning run ended in England.
Scotland has been dealt a blow with the withdrawal of Newcastle winger Matt Ritchie, as a precaution after he played against Liverpool on Sunday. Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor has already been drafted into the squad to cover injured team-mate Scott Brown, and the Scots need goals.
Top scorer is West Ham’s out of favour midfielder, Robert Snodgrass, while Slovakia has plenty of attacking threat from striker Adam Nemec and Napoli’s influential midfielder Marek Hamsik.
The hosts need a twelfth man to win this vital match, and the Hampden faithful will certainly be up for that!
