International Football Predictions and Tips – Wednesday 1 June

It’s crunch time in Glasgow as Scotland and Ukraine battle it out to see who will be one game away from the 2022 World Cup. The former have home advantage and will hope to keep a level head against opponents who have been through the mill due to the situation in Russia. Meanwhile, Wales clash with Poland and there’s a big showpiece game at Wembley.

Scotland v Ukraine, KO:19:45

The majority of a packed Hampden Park will hope that Scotland can edge closer to the 2022 World Cup by beating Ukraine. This rearranged fixture will be tinged with emotion although Steve Clarke’s side look a good bet to come through with a victory. Clarke has brought about plenty of improvement and we’re expecting the midfield engine room of John McGinn and Scott McTominay to help get the job done.

Scotland last qualified for the World Cup finals in 1998. Although they turned out at the last European Championships and acquitted themselves well. The same thing happened in their World Cup qualifying group, finishing second behind Denmark and only losing one game.

World Cup Qualifiers BannerBEST BET: Scotland to win

Poland v Wales, KO:17:00

The Polish football nation has been recently rocked by news that Robert Lewandowski is intending to leave Bayern Munich shortly. With the country’s captain calling time on a remarkable career at the Allianz. He will lead out his country for this Nations League encounter against a Wales side. Who will treat this as a warm-up before a crunch clash against Scotland or Ukraine. We could see honours even in Wroclaw.

Wales are likely to have Gareth Bale leading them out. And the Real Madrid star will be looking to shine ahead of officially leaving the Bernabeu. He might not have been able to make an impact in the recent Champions League final. Although he and Aaron Ramsey are capable of making an impression in this Nations League clash.

BEST BET: Draw

Italy v Argentina, KO:19:45

Something of an oddity taking place at Wembley Stadium as European champions Italy take on Copa America holders Argentina. This clash is known as the Finalissimo and it’s a resurrected “champion of the world” final, with both sides unlikely to be at full strength.

Nevertheless, we might see an entertaining encounter in England. With Lionel Messi likely to play some part against an Azzurri side still feeling the pinch after failing to qualify for the World Cup.

BEST BET: BTTS Yes

There are only a handful of international matches on Wednesday night. Although Scotland are bidding to reach their first World Cup since 1998. The fans will be hopeful that they can at least have a shot at beating Wales. With the winner of this play-off route getting the chance to line up against England, Iran and USA in Qatar.
