Continue reading the main storyThe first leaders' debate aired on STV on 5 August, with both sides claiming victory.
Monday's 90-minute event will be staged at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow in front of an audience of 200 people selected by polling and research consultancy ComRes.
The debate is being presented by Glenn Campbell and will begin with opening statements from both leaders.
BBC Scotland said Mr Salmond had won a coin toss and had chosen to go first with his opening statement.
There will then be four issue sections devoted to the economy, Scotland at home, and in the world, and what happens after the vote. Each of these will begin with a question from an audience member.
The two men will then cross examine each other and the debate will be rounded off with closing statements.

Both sides in the referendum campaign insisted their man came out on top when the two leaders met for their first debate earlier this month.
Key moments of the debate included Mr Darling being asked 21 times if he agreed with David Cameron that it was possible for Scotland to be a "successful independent country".
Mr Darling's repeated questioning of Alex Salmond's currency plans for an independent Scotland elicited the biggest response on social media, with more than 2,000 tweets during that segment of the debate.
How did it all begin?Alex Salmond and Alistair Darling have each been in the party political arena for more than 30 years. Mr Darling reached high office when he served as Chancellor of the Exchequer in Gordon Brown's Labour government. That is a quite some distance from where he started, as a passionate left-wing student activist.
Mr Salmond, born in 1954 in Linlithgow, graduated from St Andrews University and became an economist, working for the Scottish Office and the Royal Bank of Scotland. But a career in politics soon called and he is now leader of the SNP (a post he has held twice), and is Scotland's longest serving first minister.
