Hampden Park will be bouncing on Sunday evening as Scotland look to take another big step towards World Cup qualification for the first time since 1998, they welcome Belarus in this big fixture.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some World Cup qualification odds and betting angles for Sunday’s fixture:

Scotland v Belarus – Sunday, 5pm

Punters can bet on Scotland v Belarus with William Hill

• It’s fair to say that Scotland were definitely second best on Thursday night at Hampden Park against Greece and their World Cup dream looked a long way away after finding themselves 1-0 down with less than 30 minutes left to play.
• Steve Clarke’s side didn’t give up though and somehow won the game 3-1, it really felt as if luck was on their side on Thursday but the Scots won’t care one bit, as they sit second in Group C only on goal difference, as they look to make it to their first World Cup since 1998.
• Prior to last months encounter, these two sides hadn’t met each other since 2005 but a comfortable victory in Belarus just four weeks ago with 73% possession will fill the Tartan Army with confidence, as they look to make it four games unbeaten in a CWQ campaign for the first time since 2001.
  ——————————–
• Belarus travel to Scotland off the back of a 6-0 defeat to Denmark on Thursday evening, that thumping keeps them at the bottom of Group C having not picked up a single point from their three outings so far, scoring just one goal and conceding thirteen.
• The White Wings are now looking to avoid five straight defeats for the first time since November 2021 but that’ll be a tough ask given they’ve not kept a clean sheet in any of their last twenty World Cup Qualifiers.
• The odds are against Belarus for this one and i’ve got to agree, with their World Cup campaign all but over already, it’s just pride on the line now but this Scotland side are hungry and i’m expecting a comfortable night for the Tartan Army.

Prediction: Scotland -2 Handicap, Scotland 4-0 Belarus
