We've beaten them twice in our last 5 games

How do you figure that?  Oh actually you're right in that we beat them 3 - 2 after we lost 2 - 1. Counting a penalty win is reaching though because we won't have that possibility in the WCQ. 1 win in 6 attempts without penalties. My point regardless is that we are due a win, aren't we as we haven't beaten them in a while and we as a superior team are supposed to beat them. 👀

It's not reaching, since we achieved the desired result of the tie.

It'll likely be a tight game, but it's a great chance to win

Israel's coach Willi Ruttensteiner first game in charge was the draw at Hampden in the UEFA Nations League. Where in Israel's form since then does the confidence come from that we should be beating them? It's mental, there is overwhelming evidence across the board that this will be an even game. 

You ordered your Israel top yet

If a draw isn't good for Scotland then it's worse for Israel. If we go out to steamroller them will that play into their hands given their counter attacking threat? Are we better off playing this game like our away games against Serbia, England and Austria?

James Forrest is unlikely to be involved. It's a bit of an odd sequence of events as he was called up to the September squad, but is still probably out for the October squad. He played the full 90 minutes against AZ Alkmaar on the 18th of August which was his last game and has been unavailable since. Not sure what is going on there.
