Scotland is the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In the first round, the Scots tied away with the formidable Denmark, which is strong at home, the team has a much stronger squad and experience. At the same time, Belarus has just suffered a crushing defeat from Greece (1:5), which clearly demonstrates the problems in defense.
Although Belarus sometimes shows results against outsiders (victories over Tajikistan and Azerbaijan), against teams of Scotland's level they lack class. The visitors, in turn, confidently beat Liechtenstein (4:0), confirming their experience in matches with outsiders, and have players from a strong European league in their squad.
Considering the difference in class and Scotland's motivation to fight for a place in the World Cup, their confident victory is expected.
