I honestly don't know the current situation of the war between Russia and Ukraine. But I believe it is natural for the players of a country to not be concentrated on football when there is a war going on in their country. I believe I heard that a lot of football players, or maybe a few football players, were taking part in the war. So I don't think there will be too much concentrated on football but at the same time, they have to be professional. and obviously, Scotland is not too hard of an opponent either.

I checked the odds, and most of the sportsbooks are favoring Scotland. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine doesn't have anything to do with it. Scotland is simply the better team out of the two. As of now, Scotland is at 13/10, while Ukraine's odds are 11/4. Draw is placed at 11/5. 3-0 win by Scotland is having odds of 25/1 and this one looks attractive for me. Considering the weakened morale of the Ukrainian team, I won't be surprised if they get mauled by the Scots. The match will take place at Hampden Park (Glasgow), and Scotland will be having some sort of host advantage as well.

I believe Scotland is obviously a better team compared to the Ukrainians. I just thought the war might be a reason for the Ukraine team to perform worse than they could have.
Anyway, in every shape and form, it looks like Scotland is the favorite in this match. And when we add the fact that it is also going to be a home match for Scotland I think the Ukraine team has honestly no chance.

Psychologically it will be a hard game for Scotland, as most people want ukrainian national team to raise the morale of their country and their people.winning this match towards Wolrld Cup. And considering how brave ukrainians are, their players will do the best they can and fight with all their strength and energy in order to make not only their nation, but also the world, proud of their performance and effort.

Moreover, Scotland is missing key defender player Kieran Tierney from Arsenal, who can be replaced by Nathan Patterson from Everton, although he hasn't featured since April due to ankle surgery, being this strategy unassured for Scotland. That is a weak defensive point Ukraine may want to explore in game.

I do agree that Scotland is a better team, but under these circumstances I feel that Ukraine player’s may play much better then they usually would, and therefore there’s a big possibility of them winning against Scotland. However if they fail to perform well then they can’t really be blamed, because these are extraordinary conditions and they may mentally be not prepared for this match, and thus I hope that their fans will support them irrespective of the result.
