SCOTLAND can plant one foot in Germany if they continue their perfect start to Euro 2024 qualifying with a Hampden win over Georgia tonight.
The stunning weekend comeback in Norway was massive but Steve Clarke will be desperate to back it up with another victory.
The Georgians now look the biggest threat to the Scots after following up their opening draw at home to Norway with a 2-1 triumph in Cyprus.
But McBookie make them 6/1 outsiders at Hampden, with Scotland at 40/85 and the draw paying 31/10.
The biggest threat will come from Napoli wonderboy Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and the task of keeping him quiet will probably fall to Aaron Hickey.
It could be worth backing the Brentford full-back to pick up a card and he’s 3/1 with Bet365 to fall foul of the referee.
I’d imagine Clarke will stick with the side that started against Norway, despite the short turnaround.
Lyndon Dykes should lead the line again and looks good value at 7/4 (William Hill) after netting in Oslo.
John McGinn is usually the most advanced midfielder for the Scots and McBookie make the Aston Villa star 16/5 for an assist.
Norway will look to take their frustration out on Cyprus in the other Group A game.
Erling Haaland should make the difference and he’s 6/4 at Bet365 to score two or more goals.
Elsewhere I’m going to double a Portugal win in Iceland with a Serbia triumph away to Bulgaria. That pays evens with Unibet.
- Super singles: McGinn assist (16/5, McBookie). Deadly double: Portugal and Serbia (Evs, Unibet).
- McBookie bet builder: Combining a Dykes strike with under 3.5 match goals pays 259/100.
