Scotland vs Switzerland: Euro 2024 Group Stage Prediction Match Details
Scotland will face off against Switzerland in the UEFA Euro 2024 match at the RheinEnergie Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams are eager for a win in the second round of the tournament.
Scotland Preview & Form
Scotland suffered a humbling start to their Euro 2024 tournament after they were pounced 5-1 by host nation Germany. The Tartan Army will be aiming to improve their historical performance in major tournaments, as they have never advanced past the group stages in international competitions. In their last 10 matches across all competitions, Steve Clarke’s men have managed only one win, suffered six losses, and drawn three times. Scotland’s defensive weaknesses are a major concern, as they have not kept a clean sheet in their last ten competitive games. The Tartan Army will see this game as crucial for them, as they will aim to advance to the next round.
Switzerland Preview & Form
Switzerland comes into this game after a convincing 3-1 win over Hungary in their first match of the tournament. Murat Yakin’s team performed well in the opening match and will be aiming to advance further in the tournament after reaching the quarterfinals of Euro 2020. Switzerland has a strong record leading up to this match, having suffered only one defeat in their last 15 games, with seven wins and seven draws. Switzerland sits second on the same points as Germany, and they will anticipate battling for the top position with Germany.
