Scotland vs Switzerland Predictions & Match Preview

Scotland vs Switzerland Prediction

Scotland and Switzerland are going to close an exciting Wednesday schedule at the 2024 Euro with their second-round fixture in Cologne.

The Scots are hoping to make amends for a demolishing opening day loss to the hosts while Switzerland are searching for their second win of the tournament.

• Scotland won just one of the previous ten matches in all competitions.
• Switzerland won three and drew one of their last four outings across competitions.
• The Tartan Army conceded at least two goals in eight of their last ten affairs.
• Kwadwo Duah scored 13 goals in 24 appearances for Ludogorets last season.

Scotland were destined to a painful defeat after conceding two early goals in the opening round’s match against Germany.

Ryan Porteous’ red card then sent the game completely in one direction as Germany counted to five on the occasion. The only thing Scotland did in that game was an Antonio Rudiger own goal from one of the rare Scottish looks towards Manuel Neuer.

Switzerland eased past Hungary in their tournament opener. Kwadwo Duah and Michel Aebischer inspired the win by scoring their maiden international goals in the first half of the affair.

Scotland vs Switzerland Predicted Lineups and Team News

Steve Clarke has a lot to think about ahead of the game against Switzerland. His biggest problem is the absence of Brentford’s defender Aaron Hickey who is ruled out of the tournament through injury.

Now that Ryan Porteous is suspended after getting sent off in a loss top Germany, Clarke will turn to Grant Hanley who skipped most of the last season for Norwich City.

Scotland (5-4-1): Gunn – Ralston, Hendry, Hanley, Tierney, Robertson – McTominay, McGregor, McGinn, Christie – Adams

On the other side, we do not expect any changes from Swiss manager Murat Yakin from the team that dispatched Hungary in the first round.

Switzerland (5-4-1): Sommer – Widmer, Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez, Ndoye – Xhaka, Freuler, Aebischer, Vargas – Duah

Switzerland to take advantage of the momentum

Switzerland will enter this tie in much higher spirits. They were lethal in attack despite the fact that Murat Yakin decided to leave his main star Xerdan Shaqiri on the bench.

Aebischer and Duah combined phenomenally in the final third against the Hungarians. They should have even more space to deliver up front past the leaky Scottish defence that has just shipped five goals in a tough defeat to Germany.

Scotland won just one of their last ten games in all competitions. They have lost three of the last five matches along the way.

Switzerland have three wins and a draw in the last four outings. We will back Switzerland to win at the 1.83 odds.

Kwadwo Duah to shine again for La Nati

Kwadwo Duah scored his first international goal in his second appearance for Switzerland on Saturday afternoon.

He produced a calm finish after a beautiful past from Aebischer. Duah has arrived in Germany after a fantastic season for Ludogorets.

He has scored 13 goals in 24 appearances for the Bulgarian heavyweights. Knowing how poor the Scots looked on the opening day, we like the 3.75 odds offered for Duah to score anytime on Wednesday.
