Serbia and Scotland meet in the play-off final of the qualifying stages for a tournament still presently known as Euro 2020 despite a postponement ensuring it won't take place until 2021 at the earliest. The European Championships need little introduction and both teams vying for a place at the upcoming edition have players familiar to wide audiences. Scotland have Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay and Liverpool defender Andy Robertson. Serbia can call upon the talents of Ajax winger Dusan Tadic and Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Stadion Rajko Mitić will be the venue for this clash, giving Serbia home advantage. The Serbs, who have failed to win five of their last six matches, make good use of their home advantage. They have only lost two of their last ten games on home turf, a run that includes consecutive 4-1 wins over Lithuania. That won't exactly have the visiting Scots quaking in their boots though. Steve Clarke has orchestrated a brilliant unbeaten run of eight matches in all competitions. It is their longest unbeaten run since the late 1980s. A first tournament appearance since 1996 could be on the cards.

Scotland won their last two matches on the road by a scoreline of 2-1. Ryan Fraser has been among the goals for the Scots, who play McTominay in a back three rather than his usual midfield role. The tall 23-year-old has excelled in that position, one of many vital cogs in a hard-working machine. Serbia have better players but we see them falling to a shock defeat. Back Scotland.
