Will Lawrence Shankland drop out of the starting line-up to face Morocco? [Reuters]
Former Scotland international is expecting Steve Clarke to revert to a single striker for Friday night's World Cup game against Morocco.
Lawrence Shankland and Che Adams started the 1-0 victory over Haiti in their opening match of the tournament, a result which perched the Scots at the top of the group after one game.
Morocco, who drew with Brazil in their opening game, are up next and Lambert is expecting a departure from the 4-4-2 formation of the Haiti game.
"I think he'll drop one of the strikers to the bench because I think we could get overrun if we don't flood the midfield," he told BBC Scotland.
"So I think he'll go with the same goalkeeper, I think he'll go with the same back four. The only other options I think he might do is Ben Gannon-Doak on the right side. I think they'll stick with Lewis Ferguson and he either might bring in Kenny McLean to solidify the midfield or he might bring in Ryan Christie and keep John McGinn wide left.
"He might push Scott McTominay just behind the striker and make it a three in the middle of the pitch. So he could go 4-2-3-1.
"I just don't think we will be wide open because a point's good enough.
"I think up front, I think he either goes with Lyndon Dykes or Che Adams, one of the two.
"I think he'll bring another midfielder into it just to give us a bit of solidity because I think we were a little bit open against Haiti who weren't the greatest, but the main thing was to get the win."
