Nico Williams is yet to hit the heights he did at the European Championships for Athletic Bilbao this season, the dangerous winger has registered two goal contributions across his 11 La Liga appearances whilst averaging 2.33 shots per 90 and 0.70 shots on target per 90.

He’s had two shots on target across his 141 minutes of Nations League football this season as he looks to rediscover the form which saw him catch the eye of many clubs around Europe.

With Lamine Yamal still recovering from an injury, the spotlight should shift to Nico Williams on the opposite wing to cause damage to a Denmark side who have shown they can be solid but did concede 25 shots and six shots on target to Spain when the sides met last month.

Hojbjerg is averaging 1.00 shots per 90 across his 11 Ligue 1 appearances this season for Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille side. He plays as part of a midfield two for his country and regularly gets forward, often hovering around the edge of the box.

Hojbjerg’s average stays steady at 1.00 shots per 90 across his four Nations League appearances this season, this includes a shot against Spain when the sides met in the Nations League last month.

Hojbjerg averaged 1.78 shots per 90 across his four appearances at EURO 2024, his shot numbers remain solid for both club and country and also over a larger sample size suggesting he should be able to get at least one attempt off at goal in this encounter. This is likely to come from when Switzerland break quickly in periods of Spanish possession with Hojbjerg strategically positioned on the edge of the box.

Bruno Fernandes looks like he’s on the path to rediscovering his efficient output in front of goal that was slightly stifled by the attacking midfielder being asked to play a slightly deeper role in the now departed Erik Ten Hag’s team. He’s averaging 0.68 shots on target per 90 across his 11 Premier League appearances this season.

He’s always been bright for Portugal, especially during qualifying and Nations League campaigns. He’s provided three goal contributions across his four Nations League appearances this season whilst averaging 3.26 shots per 90 and 1.75 shots on target per 90.

Bruno Fernandes found the target twice from five attempts on goal when these sides met in the Nations League last month, he should take plenty of confidence from his recent positive performances and live up to his shot on target average in this encounter.

McTominay has adapted well to life in Italy with the midfielder providing three goal contributions across his nine Serie A appearances whilst averaging 0.73 shots on target per 90. This record usually increases when he plays for Scotland as he’s given licence to play in a more advanced role.

McTominay is averaging 3.20 shots per 90 and 1.25 shots on target per 90 across his four Nations League appearances this season which has resulted in two goals for Scotland’s most consistent goal threat.

McTominay had two shots when these sides met last month and should be given more confidence by the home crowd to see one of these attempts hit the target. He’s playing for confidence in a side that currently sit top of Serie A and will be eager to continue being a reliable man for his country.

Gvardiol is averaging 1.53 shots per 90 across his 11 Premier League appearances this season, the defender is incredibly forward thinking as further highlighted by his three goals in the Premier League this season.

Gvardiol has had at least one shot in each of his last 5 Premier League games for Manchester City as well as averaging 0.75 shots per 90 across his 4 Nations League appearances this campaign, one of these attempts came from distance against Scotland when these sides met last month.

Gvardiol has shown on many occasions this season that he isn’t afraid to get forward and join the attack, his shots are varied and even come from distance showing that he backs himself to find the back of the net even from unconventional angles and can disturb a shaky Scotland backline here who have already conceded seven goals across their four Nations League outings.
