If Scotland can get it to a penalty shoot-out they are home! Holland should win, but they aren't the side they used to be.

Other match-ups:
Latvia v Turkey - Turkey should cruise through here

Croatia v Slovenia - Possibly the toughest of the match-ups to pick. Slovenia are a damn good side, might favour them in an upset.

Russia v Wales - Russia should win this but you never know. A lot depends on the conditions for the first leg in Moscow.

Spain v Norway - I will laugh if Spain find a way to stuff it up, but they should get through here.

Don't EVER write off the Scots, it will come down to the leg in Holland as Hampton Park isn't the easiest ground to come to, trying to win - even the Germans couldn't do it.

Another thing in Scotland's favour is that the Holland manager is ex Rangers manager and director of football **** Advocaat, so all Berti has to do is quiz Martin O'Neill and Alex McLeish for any tips on how best to beat his tactics. Also the current Scotland side is quite settled and is very close, while Holland are in-fighting.

Will be very close but even this Scot can't see us getting up, we just don't have any strikers
