Scotland started their World Cup qualifying campaign with an excellent draw in Denmark but that result will count for nothing if they fail to follow it up with a win over Belarus.
The Tartan Army haven't graced the greatest show on earth since France 98 but reaching next summer's finals would be a fitting way for long-serving boss Steve Clarke to sign off.
Most people, including our man Greg, expected the Scots to lose in Denmark after watching them ship three goals at home to Greece and Iceland.
But Clarke's side limited the Danes to just two efforts on target and arguably had the best chances in the cagey stalemate.
They now travel to Hungary to take on a Belarus side who crashed to a horror 5-1 loss away to Greece in their opener.
It was 4-0 at half-time in a one-side match and the Belarusians must now pick themselves up for a clash with a Scotland side in good spirits.
How the bookies view it: Belarus threat neutralised
With Belarus having to play a neutral venue, BoyleSports make them 13/2 outsiders, which looks a bit too generous. Scotland are a tiny 8/15 and the draw pays 11/4.
Head to head: Scots by a nose
These nations have met just four times before, with Scotland just having the edge with two wins, one defeat and a draw. But it was Belarus who had the edge when they last met in 2006 World Cup qualifying, winning 1-0 in Scotland after a 0-0 draw in Minsk.
Players to watch: McTominay menace
Scotland still lack a reliable No.9 so their midfield usually offers the biggest goal threat. Scott McTominay usually plays in the most advanced position and the Napoli star is 2/1 for anytime score.
Max Ebong led the line for Belaurs in Greece on Friday night and should get the nod again for this one. The Astana striker is 9/1 with BoyleSports to take his international tally to six goals.
Probable line-ups
Clarke surprisingly played two strikers in Copenhagen on Friday but could revert to a five-man midfield again for this one. Young winger Ben Gannon Doak might also be unleashed from the start.
Belarus could make a few changes after their Greek tragedy, with skipper Alyaksandr Martynoivch a doubt after going off early in the second half.
Belarus: Pavlyuchenko, Pechenin, Zabelin, Volkov, Yablonski, Korzun, Barkovskiy, Pigas, Gromyko, Ebong, Melnichenko.
Scotland: Gunn, Robertson, Souttar, Hanley, Hickey, Gilmour, McGinn, McTominay, Christie, Doak, Adams.
Anything else catch the eye?
This is the kind of fixture where Scotland have routinely come unstuck in the past but the fact it's being held in neutral Hungary increases their chances and Belarus were woeful in Athens.
When these sides last faced off on the road to the World Cup we only saw one goal across the two qualifiers. None of Belarus' six games in the last Nations League campaign saw over 2.5 goals but that bet was up inside 20 minutes against the Greeks on Friday.
The bookies reckon their defence will be more secure here, with under 2.5 goals only paying 4/6 at BoyleSports while betting against BTTS is 8/13. But Scotland continue to look a bit suspect in central defence while keeper Angus Gunn is another weak link so it could pay to back both teams to score at 6/5 with BoyleSports.
This could be a test of patience for the Scots so I also like the 11/10 on offer at the same firm for most goals to come in the second half.
