Since the win over Armenia, Ukraine don't really have any injury concerns, with the only loss being the now suspended Serhii Sydorchuk, who may be replaced by Oleksandr Pikhalyonok. There is potential that Myhailo Mudryk may get a nod in the forward line having been in red hot form for Shakhtar Donetsk recently and with Ukraine needing nothing less than a win. Kieran Tierney and Scott McKenna miss out through injury and both players were replaced in the squad, by Hearts players Barrie McKay and Stephen Kingsley. Nathan Patterson also misses out after being stretchered off against Ukraine, while Aaron Hickey is a doubt having been forced off in the last game vs Ireland. Scott McTominay will miss the game due to picking up a yellow card in the match vs Ireland, meaning he is now suspended. Che Adams was said to be feeling ill, but still travelled with the squad, so expect him to start.
It would be expected that this match will be a lot tighter than the affair from about a week ago, when Scotland ran out 3-0 winners. Since then, the visitors have suffered a number of key injuries and left it late to come from behind and win against Ireland on the weekend. As well as this, Ukraine themselves have looked in better form, running out 5-0 winners over Armenia in their last game, potentially boosting their confidence coming into this one. Ukraine need to win the game in order to top the group, while Scotland could easily make do with a draw, being two points better off. The game will therefore most likely be a tight one with both sides not wanting to give too much away. 1:1
