The game will be in Haifa at 9:45 P.M. local/8:45 P.M. CET/2:45 P.M. USA Eastern. Scotland has 8 wins and 3 draws in their last 11 games against teams below them in the FIFA Rankings and has won all 3 games against Israel. Israel has lost their last 4 home games and will clinch finishing last if they lose both games this month. Finishing last does not guarantee relegation because other groups in League C have 4 teams. Israel are small favorites in the betting odds. Last month Albania won 1-0 hosting Israel and Scotland won 2-0 hosting Albania. Israel will host Albania on 14 October in Beersheba with the same start time.
