Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-------------------------
Scotland can move closer to World Cup 2026 qualification with a win over Belarus. They are currently level on points with Group C leaders Denmark after a hard-fought comeback earlier in the week. A victory would bring them another step nearer to securing a playoff spot or even automatic qualification.
Team Analysis:
Scotland boosted their World Cup 2026 hopes with a late comeback to beat Greece, keeping pace with Group C leaders Denmark. Their fighting spirit shone through as Christie, Ferguson, and Dykes turned the game around, despite a shaky performance. Facing lowly Belarus next, another home win could secure at least a playoff spot and edge them closer to ending a 28-year World Cup drought.
Player Situation:
Scotland face lineup changes on Sunday as Ferguson and Christie are suspended and Hickey is injured, prompting adjustments in defense and midfield. Angus Gunn will start in goal, while Dykes may continue as a substitute and Che Adams keeps his place up front. Belarus are expected to respond with a revamped lineup, including a five-man defense and teenager Trofim Melnichenko leading the attack.
Result Prediction:
Scotland rarely dominate weaker teams by large margins, so a high score is unlikely. Still, they remain far superior to Belarus. The visitors face the real possibility of finishing Group C without any points.
Predicted Result: Scotland 2-0 Belarus.
