Scotland fans are starting to dream of a first World Cup finals since 1998 as they prepare to welcome Group C whipping boys Belarus to Hampden.
The Scots were outplayed by Greece on Thursday night but somehow ended up claiming a massive 3-1 win after taking the few chances that fell their way.
That saw them keep pace with leaders Denmark and another victory tonight could seal a play-off place at worst if the Greeks lose in Copenhagen.
Scotland vs Belarus
Steve Clarke's side comfortably beat Belarus 2-0 in Hungary earlier in the group and the team propping up the pile look a dispirited bunch.
They were trashed 6-0 by Denmark on Thursday so it's easy to see why BoyleSports make Belarus 11/2 outsiders today, with Scotland 1/16 hot favourites.
The Scots rarely dish out heavy defeats to anyone but still look decent value at -2 in the handicap, which pays 21/20.
Winger Ben Gannon-Doak will be key to breaking down the Belarus defence and I like the 11/10 on offer at Paddy Power for the Bournemouth new boy to score or assist.
For a longer-odds option, Billy Gilmour should return to the midfield and the Napoli playmaker is 6/1 with William Hill for an assist.
Denmark vs Greece
When the draw for the World Cup qualifiers was made, I thought Greece might stand a chance of topping Group C after their exciting young squad had racked up a few impressive results.
But if the Greeks lose in Denmark tonight their campaign will be over, unless Belarus spring a shock by taking something off the Scots at Hampden.
They will still be wondering how they lost to Scotland themselves, having played some lovely football in that 3-1 defeat.
The bookies fancy Denmark to pile on more pain as BoyleSports price the group leaders at just 4/6 for the win. With the Danes scoring nine times across their last two games, I'm going to combine the home win with over 1.5 goals to boost the odds to 21/20.
We should see action at both ends in this one as Greece chase the win that would revive their campaign so combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals also appeals at 7/5.
Netherlands vs Finland
The Netherlands have been flying in World Cup qualifying and can take a big step towards the finals with a home win over Finland tonight.
A home draw with Poland is the only blip from the Dutch so far and they eased to a 2-0 win in Helsinki when these sides faced off earlier in the group.
Finland still have a chance of qualifying themselves, having beaten the Poles at home, but a 2-2 draw in Lithuania could ultimately be their undoing.
BoyleSports can't them springing a shock in Amsterdam as they price the Finns at 33/1, with the Netherlands as short as 1/10.
It's hard finding value with the Dutch such heavy favourites so I'm going for a bet builder. Combining a Dutch win in the first half with over 2.5 match goals and over 6.5 corners takes you to 20/21 at BoyleSports.
Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo is odds-on for anytime scorer but backing him for an assist offers more value at 7/4 with Bet365.
