Anticipated Results and Wagers Guidance: Adams and Dykes to Shine in Belarus vs Scotland Showdown

The highly-anticipated World Cup Qualifier between Scotland and Belarus is set to take place at the ZTE Arena, Zalaegerszeg, Hungary on Monday, 8th September 2025, at 7.45pm. This exciting match will be broadcast on BBC Three.

Scotland comes into this encounter with confidence following their recent draw with Denmark. Despite not having high odds of securing a point against the Danes, they managed to pull off a crucial result. On the other hand, Belarus lost their first Group C match against Greece 5-1.

Scotland's striker, Lyndon Dykes, has been in fine form, scoring four goals in nine appearances during the 2021/22 World Cup Qualifiers. It is expected that he will be active in the match against Belarus, along with Che Adams who is also expected to make attacking returns. The odds for Dykes to score and Adams to have 1+ shots on target are 6/4 with SBK.

The expected lineup for Scotland includes Gunn, Hickey, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson, McGinn, McTominay, Ferguson, Christie, Adams, and Dykes. Scotland has shown a strong defensive set up in the past year, with clean sheets against Portugal and Croatia among others.

Scotland is the favourite to win the match, having beaten Greece away from home in the Nations League back in March. The latest odds for the match are: Belarus - 13/2, Draw - 14/5, Scotland - 1/2.

One betting tip is for Scotland to win both halves at 13/10 on Midnite. Another tip is for Scotland to make attacking returns in the match.
