Willi Ruttensteiner has been in charge of the sporting activities since January 1st, 2021
Fate with the Israelis. The Austrian, also 58 years old, has an average success rate of 1.05 PPS. With the Israelis he has an average success rate of 1.63 PPS. It must be said, however, that Ruttensteiner rarely had a coaching position, because he was mainly sports director or coordinator. He too only met Scotland and Clarke 4 times. The balance is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss.

Will Israel grab second place in the table?
Given that the Israelis are struggling away from home, a win against Scotland is hard to imagine. In the test matches in June 2021, they could only win 3-1 against Montenegro away from home and suffered a 4-0 defeat against Portugal. In the World Cup qualifiers, they were only defeated twice in total and satisfied with only 1 draw. They won 3 victories. In unfamiliar stages they brought in the following results:
1: 4 win against Moldova
0: 4 win against Faroe Islands
5-0 defeat against Denmark

For the Israelis it would only be the 2nd World Cup qualification. In 1970 they were only allowed to start at a world championship so far. If you want to keep the chance of participating in the World Cup, you must at least move up to second place. Then they would be playing in the playoffs. Only the first in the group are directly qualified for the World Cup.

Our forecast
We suspect that the two will split in a draw, even if the bookmakers favor Scotland a little. We expect less than 2.5 goals, but believe that both teams will score. That would underpin our tie.
