Scotland will be aiming to bounce back in style following a disappointing performance against Macedonia on Saturday, as a solitary Ilco Naumoski goal after five minutes settled a game played in temperatures of nearly forty degrees Celsius.

The Scots were looking to open their campaign with a win against the minnows of Macedonia, but lacked any real cutting edge and rarely threatened to break through. They will face a much different environment in Iceland on Wednesday night, with rain expected in conditions that will be much more familiar to the Scots.

Iceland were impressive when drawing 2-2 with Norway on Saturday, and could have won the game as they hit the post in the dying moments. Both sides will see this as a game they can win, which hopefully will lead to an open game.

BGbet make Scotland the 5/4 favourites to win on Wednesday in Reykjavik, and the hosts Iceland are 7/4 outsiders at Centrebet.
