Steve Clarke’s side failed to lay a glove on the Germans in what was a woefully limp display, and all the chatter around the camp has been on bouncing back in this encounter.

Against Switzerland, though, nothing is likely to come easy. Murat Yakin’s side are well en route to the last 16, having picked up a win over Hungary and they will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing an out-of-sorts opponent.

Scotland v Switzerland Best Bets

➡️ Scotland to commit 12+ fouls @ 1.91 on Paddy Power
➡️ Switzerland to win @ 1.85 on Paddy Power
➡️ Kwadwo Duah to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.66 on bet365

Given Scotland’s recent struggles, the price of 1.85 on Switzerland to make it two wins from two looks an appealing one.

Look for the Scots to be more aggressive, meanwhile. This is likely to lead to a higher foul count than against Germany. In qualifying, they only twice had under 12 fouls. They are 1.91 to hit this figure against the Swiss. 

From a Swiss perspective, look for Kwadwo Duah to manage at least one shot on target at 1.66 after finding the net in the opening game and managing two efforts on target.

⚔️ Scotland v Switzerland Head-to-Head

There is no meaningful head-to-head record between Scotland and Switzerland. The most recent meeting of the countries came way back in 2006 when the Swiss won 3-1 in Glasgow.

The previous encounter was a 1-0 Scotland win at Euro 96 courtesy of a spectacular Ally McCoist goal. This was the last time the Scots won a match at a major tournament.

📊 Scotland Form and Stats

Scotland are in no sort of form. Coming into the tournament, Clarke’s side had won only one of nine matches, with that victory coming against Gibraltar in an unconvincing 2-0 success.

Defeat against Germany, meanwhile, came as little surprise. What was alarming for Clarke’s side was just how easily they were beaten. Even before Ryan Porteous was sent off, rendering him suspended for this match, they had failed to lay a glove on the host nation.

Infamously, they finished the match without a single shot. Their strike arrived via Antonio Rudiger’s own goal.

Defensively, meanwhile, they were disjointed. Perhaps that should come as little surprise given they have conceded at least twice in seven of their last nine outings (the exceptions being v Northern Ireland and Gibraltar). 

Clarke will expect his side to show a very different face in this clash, yet he will also be responsible for allowing his team to perform. Tactically on Friday, Scotland were found wanting, with Toni Kroos allowed time to dictate the game. The same luxury cannot be afforded to Granit Xhaka.

Offensively, much will be expected of captain Andy Robertson, who managed three assists in qualifying. He also delivered three crosses against Germany, posing much of what little danger Scotland did cause.

Similarly, Scott McTominay scored seven goals and John McGinn netted three, highlighting the importance of getting midfielders forward to support Che Adams in attack. Indeed, with the Swiss having conceded from a cross in their first game, the Manchester United man’s height could be particularly valuable. He is 5.0 to score anytime with Paddy Power.

Furthermore, Switzerland struggled to defend set pieces. Jack Hendry will be the main threat in this capacity. He has three goals in 32 internationals and is a huge 20.0 to net.

Expect, too, to see a more aggressive Scotland performance than was evident against Germany. Clarke’s side only committed nine fouls against the host nation, which summed up the lack of genuine steel they played with.

Central midfielders Ryan Christie (three) and Callum McGregor (two) led the foul count. Billy Gilmour is likely to come into the side, with one of the former duo likely to make way.

📊 Switzerland Form and Stats

Switzerland might have laboured in their qualification campaign for Euro 2024, but their 3-1 victory over Hungary was very impressive. They dominated much of the first hour but were shaken up after conceding from a free kick midway through the second half. Nevertheless, they ended with 2.33 xG compared to the 1.25 xG they gave up.

In their previous eight competitive matches, they had only beaten Andorra, doing so twice.

Six of their last seven have seen goals in the 80th minute or later.

Their most impressive player against Hungary, meanwhile, was Michel Aebischer. Ostensibly the left wing-back, he drifted inside and picked up the type of positions between the opposition defence and midfield that Germany exploited against Scotland. His goal was a replica of the type of situation the Scots failed to defend adequately in their previous game. He is 6.0 to score or 4.0 to score or assist.

There was, meanwhile, a shift in attack, with Kwadwo Duah justifying his selection by scoring the opening goal. He is likely to be taken off in the middle part of the second half, with strong options on the bench such as Breel Embolo, who netted on a late counter on matchday one, and Zeki Amdouni, whose six qualifying goals got Switzerland through.

Yakin’s side, meanwhile, were more aggressive defensively than they were in qualifying. This led to three cards being received. In qualifying, they averaged two per game.

More notably, their foul count rose. They conceded 13 fouls, including four from Remo Freuler and two each from starters Dan Ndoye, Silvan Widmer, and Ricardo Rodriguez as well as replacement Leonidas Stergiou. 

That tally of 13 fouls was only matched twice in qualifying and was never bigger.

Freuler gave up 1.19 fouls per 90 in qualifying, so it was entirely consistent that he was their chief criminal in the opener. He only gave up exactly one foul once. In five of the six games he committed an indiscretion, he did so at least twice. He is 2.1 to give away at least two fouls.
