Israel will host Scotland in their final match in Group 2 of League B in the UEFA Nations League, with three points vital for both nations. Going to the game, Israel have five points and are placed third, while Scotland are top of the pile with 10 points. Israel head to this clash straight after a 1-0 loss away to Czech Republic and need a win to ensure they avoid relegation. Hatem Elhamed was sent off in the Czech game and will be out of this key game against Scotland. In their last five matches, Israel have managed just one win, which is one of the two registered in their last 13 matches and they have just one clean sheet in the 13 games. Israel are not the strongest defensively in Europe; they have conceded two goals or more in six of their last 13 matches while scoring two or more in just three and have failed to score in four of the 13 matches. Israel go to this game with no win in the last three home matches and have just one win in the last six Nations League matches. They have one clean sheet in their last nine Nations League matches and while they have one clean sheet in the four played at home, they have no win in their last two home matches in the competition.

Scotland on the other hand, seemingly still celebrating their qualification to Euro 2021, were shocked by Slovakia, losing 1-0 away to the side bottom of the group. It was Slovakia’s first win in the group and the Scots will be keen to avoid the same in this game. This is a must-win game for Scotland, or at least they need to match Czech Republic’s result in the other game in the group. Scotland eliminated Israel from the Euro 2021 qualification and will be back needing another crucial win. They are backed with three clean sheets in the last five matches and six wins in their last 10 games. In recent matches, Scotland have not scored a lot of goals but there has been some consistency; they have failed to score in two of their last 10 matches. In the Nations League, they have six wins in the last nine matches and they have two wins and two losses in the last four away games in the competition. They have just one clean sheet in four away matches in the Nations League and in six meetings with Israel, Scotland have won three and lost once.
