Scotland vs Switzerland Prediction, Betting Tips & Preview – Euro 2024

Scotland and Switzerland go head to head at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, on the 19th June at 8pm (GMT), for their second group stage encounter. Scotland, under coach Steve Clarke, has struggled to find consistency recently, failing to claim any wins in their last several games. On the other side, Switzerland come into this match with a mix of results and will need to rely on key players like Manuel Akanji and Granit Xhaka to control the game. With inconsistencies on both sides, it’s difficult to determine which way the scales will tip, so keep reading as we delve deeper into how this game might play out. We’ll also provide our top betting tips for this crucial group A encounter.

Scotland vs Switzerland Betting Tips

Given Switzerland’s defensive solidity and both teams recent struggles in front of goal, a wager on under 1.5 goals offers decent returns. Switzerland’s slight edge in quality and Scotland’s recent form could also make a Draw No Bet on Switzerland an attractive option.

Scotland vs Switzerland Match Prediction

Switzerland, under the guidance of coach Murat Yakin, have a diverse team with players like Fabian Schar and Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji in defence, along with a midfield led by the experienced Granit Xhaka. In comparison, Scotland’s squad depth doesn’t match up, and without Andy Robertson, who is probably considered their only world class talent, Scotland are the clear underdog in this matchup. Due to Scotland’s lack of attacking flair and defensive vulnerabilities, we favour Switzerland to win this match. 

Scotland vs Switzerland Correct Score Tips & Prediction

Switzerland will want to claim a vital victory over an underwhelming Scots team, seeking to control the midfield and apply pressure through their technically gifted players. Despite Switzerland’s recent struggles in finding the back of the net, they should be able to create more scoring opportunities than Scotland, who’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in seven games. For Scotland, it will depend on Scott McTominay to break up plays and initiate attacks, whilst Kieran Tierney’s defensive role will be crucial in containing the Swiss attackers. Based on a mix of squad calibre and recent performances, we predict a tightly contested match where Switzerland edge the win. Our prediction is 1-0 Switzerland. 

Scotland vs Switzerland Over & Under Betting Tips

With Switzerland’s defensive solidity, coupled with the fact that both teams lack opposing threats, expect a low scoring game consisting of battles for possession. Betting on under 2.5 goals could be a wise choice for anyone predicting a similar scenario.
