LiontipsBelarus - Scotland: betting tip and bets on the World Cup qualification match
Command Analysis
Current form
The Belarusian national team failed the start of the qualification. It was difficult to count on points in the away game against Greece in the first round, but still a crushing defeat with a score of 1:5 is a complete failure. It was noticeable from the game that the early goal of the Greeks in the third minute completely knocked the Belarusian players out of their rut. By the end of the first half, they were already losing 0-4, and the second 45-minute game was largely a formality. Overall, the latest results are alarming. Recall that during the previous international break, the national team suffered a crushing 1-4 defeat against Russia in a friendly game. And all this against the background of the fact that before these two failures, the wards of Carlos Alos had a four-match winless streak.

There are no injured or disqualified players in the Belarusian national team.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, the Belarusian national team has not lost in the first half.

Current form
Scotland had a difficult trip to Denmark in the opening round of qualifying for the World Cup. The game turned out to be stubborn and cautious, with only three shots on target between the two opponents. The Danes had the advantage, but they could not cope with the Scottish defense – a zero draw. In general, such a result can be considered positive for the wards of Steve Clark. Before the start of the qualifying tournament, during the previous international break, the Scots had two controversial friendly matches. First, they lost to Iceland (1:3), and then defeated Liechtenstein 4-0 in the class.

5.80Tip and bets
After the failure in Greece, the coaching staff of the Belarusian squad will obviously work on the mistakes, first of all, on the defensive game. In defense, the national team has enough qualified players with a lot of experience at the highest level. The Scottish national team is currently undergoing a generational change, they had to defend almost the entire match against Denmark, today they have to play number one, and the team has problems with that. We do not think that the game will turn out to be too effective, both opponents do not have a powerful attacking potential, but rely primarily on reliable defensive play.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals for a coefficient of 1.68
Betting on the outcome
Scotland has an advantage in class, with a more balanced composition along all lines. The latest results of the Belarusian national team are quite alarming, so that you can bet on their failure, especially since the match will not be played on a neutral field. We expect that the bookmakers' favorite in this pair will confirm its status.
The second bet is Scotland's victory with an Asian handicap (-1) with a coefficient of 1.96
Betting on corners
Both teams do not take unnecessary risks in their matches, they pay great attention to defense. There is a high probability that there will be a lot of fighting in the center of the field today and we won't see a lot of corners.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.90
