Scotland will be looking to build on their opening day draw against Czech Republic when they face Switzerland in their second Group A match at Euro 2024. The Scots came from behind to earn a point against the Czechs, and will be confident of taking something from this game against a Swiss side who were beaten by Portugal in their opener.
Switzerland will be without suspended midfielder Granit Xhaka, but they will still be confident of getting a result against Scotland. The Swiss have a strong squad, and will be looking to make a statement in this tournament.
This is a tough game to call, but Scotland will be slight favorites given their home advantage. However, Switzerland are a dangerous side, and they will be looking to make amends for their defeat to Portugal. A draw would probably be a fair result.
Scotland have no fresh injury concerns, but Ryan Fraser is still out with a hamstring injury. Switzerland will be without Granit Xhaka, who is suspended, and Fabian Schär, who is injured.
Scotland and Switzerland have met 10 times in the past, with Scotland winning five times, Switzerland winning three times, and two games ending in a draw.
