Normally Faroe Islands away would present the chance for Scotland to ease up and rotate the squad.
But it will be pedal to the metal on Tuesday for Steve Clarke 's side who are desperate to capitalise on that win over Israel and take another big step towards World Cup qualification.
A 4-0 win at Hampden against these opponents earlier wasn't a fair reflection of their showings so far as they have run Denmark and Austria close.
And Clarke has urged his stars not to expect a walkover in Torshavn.
The boss has a few major calls to make with his lineup as Che Adams ' absence leaves a spot up front alongside Lyndon Dykes.
Hibs' Kevin Nisbet has made his case but it was ex- Celtic star Ryan Christie, lighting up the English Championship with Bournemouth, who emerged from the bench against Israel.
And the Dykes-Christie duo is one Clarke has trusted in the past especially in the big games.
At the back, Grant Hanley's return poses a similar problem for the boss and he could easily come into the middle of the back three - at the expense of either Jack Hendry or Scott McTominay.
It would be harsh on either but these are the headaches the Scotland boss won't complain about having.
