Scotland midfielder Stuart Armstrong: “We can definitely take confidence from our previous performances over the last couple of campaigns. “It’ll be slightly different but it’s still a big game for two teams that want to top the section. Hopefully this time we do.” “At times in the past I think consistency has been an issue for Scotland but I think we have shown we can demonstrate that so there’s definitely a belief that we can find our form again and be more consistent.” “I’m sure they will play to the same level but what I’m looking for from our team is that we get back to the level that we can and then we’ll see what the result is. “I think the players knew what to expect in the summer but we just didn’t reach our levels.

To spice things up further, Italian referee Maurizio Mariani has gotten the nod for this one. This includes the 11 that occurred when Ukraine last came calling. It was unfortunate that the only defeat came to Wales in the final play-off match for Qatar, but even then, they only lost 1-0 and that was thanks to an own goal. It’s hard to get detailed data for international football but that last stat tells you the Ukrainian victory was fully merited. As that has been the most which have occurred in three of Ukraine’s last four games, it looks reasonable enough. With the war in their country it’s remarkable for them to take the field at all, yet their record across their five games in June was very impressive.
