The first classified in the group will leave this game, these two teams are the strongest in the group, both will still have to play 2 times against each other, this is the first game. Ukraine has already beaten Scotland in their country in qualifying for the World Cup, but both ended up being eliminated from the competition.

Scotland already had the worst defeat of the tie, they lost in Ireland by 3-0, a result that was shocking due to the quality of both teams and that defeat took away the possibility of Scotland being in the first place, in the other 2 games they defeated Armenia which is the weakest team in the group and will now play against the strongest teams.

Scotland captain Andy Robertson will be missing through injury for each of their three games this month, a very important absence, John Souttar and Liam Cooper are sidelined. There are 3 absences that makes the team weaker.

Ukraine in my opinion is the strongest team in the group, they don't have any defeats and come from a draw in the last game against Ireland, in a game played in Poland for the reasons that everyone knows. Despite having drawn, they could have won because they were the best team on the field. Ukraine coach has rotated several players during the competition but in this game he will use the best available players.

Zinchenko is out due to injury.

In qualifying for the World Cup, Ukraine won in this country, an extra motivational factor for the team, and players and coaches want to pass the group in first place to make all Ukrainians happy. Scotland have a good team but their absences make them weaker and they will have a lot of problems against the Ukrainians who are very motivated and are a better team. The game will be balanced but Ukraine has the quality needed to win points.

小组第一名将离开本场比赛，这两支球队是小组最强的，双方还将进行2场比赛，这是第一场比赛。乌克兰已经在世界杯预选赛中击败了苏格兰，但双方最终都被淘汰出局。

苏格兰已经遭遇了这场比赛中最糟糕的一场失利，他们0 - 3输给了爱尔兰，鉴于两支球队的实力，这一结果令人震惊，这场失败剥夺了苏格兰获得第一的可能性，在另外两场比赛中，他们击败了小组中最弱的亚美尼亚队，现在他们将对阵最强的球队。

苏格兰队长安迪·罗伯逊将因伤缺席他们本月的三场比赛，这是一个非常重要的缺阵，约翰·苏特尔和利亚姆·库珀将缺阵。有三名球员的缺席使球队变得更弱。

在我看来，乌克兰是小组中最强的球队，他们没有输过一场比赛，而且在上一场对阵爱尔兰的比赛中取得了平局，原因大家都知道。尽管打平了，但他们本可以赢，因为他们是场上最好的球队。乌克兰主帅在比赛中轮换了几名球员，但在这场比赛中他将使用最好的球员。

津琴科因伤缺席。

在世界杯预选赛中，乌克兰在这个国家获胜，这对球队来说是一个额外的激励因素，球员和教练都希望小组第一出线，让所有乌克兰人都高兴。苏格兰是一支不错的球队，但他们的缺席让他们变得更弱，他们在对阵乌克兰人时会遇到很多问题，乌克兰人很有动力，是一支更好的球队。比赛将是平衡的，但乌克兰有能力赢得积分。
