Scotland play Austria at Hampden Park on Wednesday night, in what will be a tough game for Steve Clarke’s side.

Austria finished top of their Nations League group which featured the likes of Norway, Romania and Northern Ireland, with 13 points from a possible of 18 and have scored in their last five international fixtures.

Meanwhile, Scotland threw away the opportunity to finish top of their Nations League group, following losses to Israel and Slovakia. But they did manage to earn qualification for the Euros when they beat Serbia on penalties back in November, following a 1-1 draw after extra time.

Romania come into this game against North Macedonia on the back of some indifferent results in the Nations League, which saw them earn a respectful third-place finish in Group B1 containing Austria, Norway and Northern Ireland.

Mirel Rădoi’s side were heavily beaten 4-0 away at Norway in October, but have since shown signs of improvement, having beaten Belarus 5-3 in November, before drawing 1-1 with Northern Ireland in what was a meaningless game, with both teams' fates settled in their Nations League group.

North Macedonia had a solid Nations League campaign, as they narrowly finished behind a Henrikh Mkhitaryan inspired Armenia in Group C2, finishing on nine points, scoring nine times in six matches.

The visitors did also manage to pull off a major shock by qualifying for Euro 2021, as they beat Georgia 1-0 away from home via a goal from veteran striker Goran Pandev.

Bulgaria take on Switzerland in the World Cup qualifiers, with both teams looking to make a good start on the road to Qatar.

The hosts have only won one of their last five matches in all competitions, which came in a 3-0 win against Gibraltar, following a recent 0-0 draw with the Republic of Ireland, just a couple of days after narrowly losing 2-1 at home to Finland.

Switzerland haven’t won any of their last five matches, having drawn to Spain 1-1 and lost 2-1 away to Belgium in the last international break in November, following what was a tough Nations League group with Germany, as mentioned above and Spain finishing ahead of them.

Against a lower calibre of opposition, Switzerland will be expected to win, as they competed relatively well with the likes of Germany when they drew 3-3 with them in October, having taken the lead following goals by Mario Gavranovic (2) and Remo Freuler.

Germany come into their clash with Iceland as firm favourites on Thursday, following the away side’s poor showing in the Nations League, which saw them finish with no points against Belgium, Denmark or England.

Die Mannschaft finished runners up to Spain in their group, finishing three points ahead of Switzerland and Ukraine, scoring 10, but conceding 13 times in six matches, which was ultimately detrimental to their progress.

This shows that there will be opportunities for Iceland to score against Germany, despite Joachim Loew’s side being superior opposition. Iceland managed to score against all three other teams in their Nations League group.

The final game on this list is Hungary against Poland, in what will be a crucial game for qualification, as they are the second are third favourites to qualify in England’s group.

Poland come into this game as favourites despite finishing third in what was a tough Nations League group, which saw them face Holland, Italy and Bosnia, beating the latter 3-0 in October. The Poles will be relying on goals from the likes of Robert Lewandowski, as the Bayern Munich man managed his 35th Bundesliga goal of the season last weekend in just 25 appearances.

Hungary have scored in four of their last five games in all competitions, including in victories against Serbia, Iceland and Turkey, with their 2-1 win against Iceland seeing them qualify for Euro 2021, via 88th and 92nd-minute goals by Loic Nego and Dominik Szoboszlai.
