Scotland will at last play a game of football against Estonia in this city of some style and elegance and Craig Brown believes his team will win.
The last time he was here, Scotland kicked off, Billy Dodds touched the ball to John Collins and then the referee blew for full time. The Estonians were nowhere to be seen after a desperate row about the quality of the floodlights the previous evening.
Now they will be trying to prevent Scotland, who beat Bosnia 21 in Sarajevo on Saturday night, gaining another victory that might propel them into the European Championship finals without the need of a play-off. The Czech Republic are the runaway leaders of Group Nine having won all eight of their games so far.
The Scots have 11 points from seven matches and a win would provide a healthy cushion between themselves and the third-placed Estonians, who have 10 points from eight games. "We came on this trip hoping for four points from the two games and we already have three. Now we are getting greedy and want six," Brown said.
That might not be too easily achieved. Estonia also won on Saturday, scoring two goals in the last five minutes against the Faroe Islands. So their confidence will be high.
The Scots have got few injuries and a lot of tactical options for one of the narrowest pitches on the circuit. David Hopkin, forced to play at right-back at the weekend, has only got a "forlorn" hope of playing but in any case the manager is considering playing just three defenders.
That would permit him three front-runners with Rangers' Neil McCann going through the middle.
Estonia's Swedish coach, Teitur Thodarson said: "It's a very big game for us because we have never been this close to anything like this (qualifying) before . . . Scotland will be in for another tough game against us."
Estonia (probable): Poom; Piiroja, Kirs, Hohlov-Simson, Saviauk, Alonen, Terehhov, Anniste, Kristal, Reim, Zelinski.
Scotland (probable): Sullivan (Wimbledon); Weir (Everton), Hendry (Rangers), Dailly (Blackburn); Burley (Celtic), Ferguson (Rangers), Collins (Everton), Cameron (Hearts), McCann (Rangers); Hutchison (Everton), Dodds (Dundee Utd).
