Scotland vs Switzerland Prediction and Betting Tips | 19th June 2024

The UEFA Euro 2024 is back in action with another set of matches this week as Scotland lock horns with an impressive Switzerland side in a crucial encounter at the RheinEnergieStadion on Wednesday. The two teams have made contrasting starts to the tournament and have a point to prove this week.

Scotland vs Switzerland Preview

Switzerland are currently in second place in Group A of the UEFA Euro 2024 standings and have been impressive over the past week. The Swiss eased past Hungary by a comfortable 3-1 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Scotland, on the other hand, are rooted at the bottom of their group and have struggled in recent weeks. The Scottish outfit slumped to a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Germany over the weekend and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.

Scotland vs Switzerland Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Scotland have a good historical record against Switzerland and have won eight out of the 16 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Switzerland's five victories.
This is the second meeting between Switzerland and Scotland in UEFA Euro competitions - the only other game played by the two teams at the Euros was won by Scotland by a 1-0 scoreline in 1996.
The previous meeting between the two teams in all competitions took place at Hampden Park in 2006, with Switzerland winning the friendly game by a 3-1 scoreline.
Scotland's 5-1 defeat against Germany last week was their second-largest margin of defeat at a major international tournament and their largest since a 7-0 defeat against Uruguay in the 1954 FIFA World Cup.
Switzerland have lost only two of their last 14 group games at major international tournaments.

Scotland vs Switzerland Prediction

Switzerland have an impressive squad at their disposal and are experienced campaigners at major international tournaments. Kwadwo Duah and Breel Embolo found the back of the net against Hungary and will look to replicate the feat this week.

Scotland were thoroughly outplayed by Germany and have a point to prove on Wednesday. Switzerland are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Scotland 1-3 Switzerland
