Scotland will host Ukraine at Hampden Park on Wednesday night in another round of their UEFA Nations League group stage campaign.
The Tartan Terriers kicked off their Nations League campaign against Armenia, picking up a 2-0 win before suffering a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Ireland in their second game. They returned to winning ways in their most recent outing, beating Armenia 4-1.
Scotland sit second in their group with six points from three games and will be looking to add to that tally when they play on Wednesday.
Ukraine have enjoyed a solid showing in the continental showpiece so far, shaking off their World Cup qualification disappointments. They came from behind to pick up a 1-1 draw against the Republic of Ireland in their last game, with Artem Dovbyk scoring the leveler just after the restart.
The visitors sit atop their group standings with seven points from an obtainable nine. They will aim to return to winning ways when they play this week.
Scotland vs Ukraine Head-to-Head
There have been just three meetings between Scotland and Ukraine. The visitors hold the better record with two wins while the hosts have won once.
The two nations last faced off in the World Cup qualifiers back in June, with the Blue and Yellow winning 3-1.

Scotland vs Ukraine Prediction
Scotland have won two of their last three games after winning none of their three prior. They have lost just one of their last six games on home soil and will be looking forward to this one.
Ukraine are on a three-game unbeaten streak and have lost just one of their last 15 games across all competitions. They are in much better form than their hosts and should come out on top here.
Prediction: Scotland 1-2 Ukraine
