Scotland v Switzerland Preview

Euro 2024 Group A Table

Here is how the Group A table stands heading into the 2nd matchday of the tournament.

Scotland’s Form

Scotland find themselves bottom of Group A heading into the second round of fixtures. That’s of course due to their 5-1 loss at the hands of Germany on the opening night of Euro 2024.

That loss, and the nature of it, to the tournament hosts, does raise a lot of questions about this Scottish side and their prospects of getting out of this group. However, not all hope is lost as Switzerland and Hungary figure to be a step down in class from the Germans.

If you were looking for excuses for the Scots’ poor opening round performance you could point to the difficulty of playing the tournament hosts on opening night and a red card that resulted in a penalty and goal just on the stroke of half-time. Even with all that accounted for, Steve Clarke’s side looked way off the standard required to get out of this group.

The loss to Germany added to what has been a poor 2023 for the side, they have only 1 win from 5 games in this calendar year with that victory coming against international minnows Gibraltar.

Netherlands 4-0 Scotland | Friendly

Switzerland’s Form

Unlike Scotland, the Swiss will be coming into this game in high spirits after winning their opening fixture 3-1 against Hungary. They will know that a win here will all but guarantee that they advance to the knockout rounds of this competition.

Murat Yakin’s side looked menacing throughout the game and were full value for the 3 points in their opening fixture, finishing with an xG of 2.38 to their opponent’s 1.23. That win continued the fine form of this side in 2024. In this calendar year Switzerland are unbeaten with 3 wins and 2 draws. Based on all known form, they will be expected to take care of business this Wednesday evening against Scotland and could potentially be one of the surprise packages of this Euros.

Scotland v Switzerland Prediction & Best Bet 

Prediction: Scotland 0-2 Switzerland

I am predicting that Switzerland will beat Scotland by 2 goals in this game. On all known form, Switzerland should be too good for the Scots in this one.

Scotland were impressive in their qualifying campaign for this tournament but have failed to maintain that standard in 2024 where they have only 1 win from 5 outings. Switzerland on the other hand are in top form and are unbeaten this year. With the likes of Manuel Akanji, Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri in their side they should have too much about them for this underperforming Scotland outfit.

Best Bet: Switzerland win 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 @ 15/8
