Both countries that is in war is even trying to participate for the contest, i know that if any country defeat them they will use what is happening as point of excuses and for me even though their is no offence for them not participate my suggestion is that they would have contested because of the war, nobody that the home is on fire that feel relaxed and free minded, this alone will make them to fail for the contest because they not relaxed, that is my peace of advice and contribution
I'm also confident that Ukraine will qualify for the world cup.
As much as war mentally shakes players' heads, it also gives the strength to show the world what they are capable of.
I don't want to belittle the Scotland team, but I believe in Ukraine's classification with their victory over Wales in the sequence.
The match will be played in 2 more days and i think scotland has a lot of advantages in the match later than ukraine, the war factor might make ukraine get sympathy from scottish fans before the match starts, but when the whistle has blown of course scotland also has its own war that they have to fight win against ukraine in that match in order to qualify for the play-off final, I think scotland which acts as the host will certainly win the match, moreover the preparation of the ukraine team so far has not been optimal due to the war that occurred so most of their players have not played for a long time and it makes their performance decrease.
