Scotland seem to be in positive development, and at home against Cyprus they seem to have every opportunity to get off to a good start in this European Championship qualifier.

Scotland's previous game was played in November last year, and it ended in a 1-2 loss away to Turkey in a friendly.

Before that, it was the Nations League that mattered, and it went really well when they went 4-1-1 in the six games against Ukraine, Ireland and Armenia, and they thus moved up and will eat cherries with the big ones at the top level next season.

However, too much has been talked about the 150th anniversary of Scottish FA. I think this element is far-fetched, or even negative. Scotland don’t enjoy playing under pressure. The last time they won an opening game of qualifiers was in 2006 against Fær Øer.

Cyprus played a couple of friendly matches in November, first losing 0-2 at home to Bulgaria before a fine 3-2 win away to Israel a few days later.

They are currently 110th in the FIFA rankings. But we must remember that they are very good at defensive games. Not so easy for Scotland.

Let’s back Cyprus.

苏格兰似乎在积极进步，在主场对阵塞浦路斯，他们有机会在这场欧洲锦标赛预选赛中取得良好的开端。

苏格兰的上一场比赛是在去年11月进行的，结果在一场友谊赛中以1-2输给土耳其而告终。

在此之前，重要的是欧国联，在对阵乌克兰、爱尔兰和亚美尼亚的6场比赛中，他们取得了4胜1平1负的成绩，情况非常好，他们因此升了级，下赛季将在顶级联赛中与大伙一起吃樱桃。

然而，关于苏格兰足协150周年纪念日的话题已经谈得太多了。 我认为这个元素是牵强的，甚至是消极的。 苏格兰并不喜欢在压力下比赛。 他们上一次赢得预选赛的首场比赛是在2006年对阵法罗群岛。

塞浦路斯在11月进行了几场友谊赛，先是在主场0-2输给了保加利亚，几天后又在客场3-2战胜了以色列。

他们目前在国际足联的排名是第110位。 但我们必须记住，他们非常擅长防守比赛。 对苏格兰来说，不是那么容易。

让我们支持塞浦路斯。
