Nearly four months on from meeting in the World Cup qualifiers, Scotland host Ukraine at Hampden Park this evening in the first round of Nations League fixtures in the 2022/23 campaign.

Steve Clarke's side had their Qatar 2022 dreams crushed in that game as they were beaten 3-1 back in June but Ukraine's subsequent defeat to Wales means they will not be at this winter's tournament either.

The visitors have responded brilliantly to that disappointment. They are unbeaten in Group B1 and sit top of the table with seven points from three games – though a win for Scotland, who sit second with six points, would mean they take top spot.

Clarke and his side know exactly how important the Nations League can be as they qualified for Euro 2020 via the competition, and as Wednesday evening's contest is the first of two meetings between the pair during the international break, the Scots' hopes of winning the group rest on getting results against Ukraine.

They'll want to make up for their disappointing defeat back in June, a game in which Andy Robertson's team were not at their best, and a win tonight may just help them exorcise some of those demons.

Our prediction: Scotland v Ukraine

A win for Scotland tonight would not make up for their World Cup qualifier disappointment but it could move them a step closer to winning Group B1 and a chance to claim a spot at the next Euros.

That said, Ukraine are top of the group for a reason and have been hugely impressive so far, while in 21-year-old winger Mykhaylo Mudryk they have one of Europe's rising stars in their side.

There should be no shortage of motivation for Clarke's team but they're missing a host of players, including their captain due to injury. Those that are involved will be desperate to produce a display that the home support can be proud of this time around.

Our prediction: Scotland 2-1 Ukraine (10/1 at bet365)
