Failure on the first day of the tournament has put Scotland in a very difficult position in Group A of this year’s Euro. Difficulty continues as in the next round, Scotland will face Switzerland, a team that has achieved an impressive victory in the first match.

First half odds for the match Scotland vs Switzerland

The defensive style of deep retreat is not bringing much effectiveness for Scotland. Clearly, the low positioning of the midfield has caused the Scottish formation to become unbalanced. They can only cluster together and almost lose the ball to the opponent as soon as they gain possession. Therefore, it is highly likely that Scotland will choose a fresher approach in the match against Switzerland. Coach Steve Clarke can completely choose to play proactively as they did when they defeated Spain a year ago. At that time, McTominay played more freely and the Scottish midfield created more connections in their style of play.

On the other hand, Scotland’s loss of a quality defender like Ryan Porteous will provide an opportunity for Switzerland. The Swiss national team’s newcomer, Kwadwo Duah, made a good impression as he was the first player to score for Switzerland in this year’s Euro. In the second match, another victory will surely help Switzerland secure a spot in the next round. Therefore, their number one striker, Embolo, will also start the game. This player possesses an impressive speed and breakthrough ability. Surely, this will be a position that the Scottish defense needs to pay attention to. In their last 5 appearances, Switzerland has scored the opening goal in the first half in 4 matches. Meanwhile, Scotland has conceded in the first half in 3 out of their last 5 matches. For this reason, the Over bet with a 1-goal margin is a recommendation given by many experts. Prediction: Over goals, Under corner kicks

Full match odds for the clash between Scotland and Switzerland

The last time the two teams Scotland vs Switzerland had the opportunity to compete against each other was almost 18 years ago. The football landscape of both teams has also undergone significant development during this time. Approaching this match, Switzerland’s mindset is certainly more relaxed. The concern of coach Murat Yakin when Zakaria is absent is almost erased as Switzerland still has another experienced player, Freuler. Although the Bologna player does not create as many spontaneous situations as Zakaria, his certainty and stability are always demonstrated by the 32-year-old player. Meanwhile, the loss of Ryan Porteous will make coach Steve Clarke extremely worried. Because the replacements for this 25-year-old player do not bring peace of mind. Especially among them is Kieran Tierney. The player currently playing for Real Sociedad has often been surpassed in the opening match. He also showed poor coordination with the left winger Robertson. Both of them often encroach on each other’s positions, leading to regrettable mistakes.

odds for the match between scotland and switzerland — Performance comparison between Scotland vs Switzerland

In the upcoming match between Scotland vs Switzerland, the Asian handicap set by the bookmaker is Switzerland -0.5. This is not a low handicap, but the opportunity for Switzerland to secure a ticket to the next round is still very high. This is because Scotland is currently in a very forgettable form. In their last 10 matches, under the guidance of coach Steve Clarke, they have only managed to secure 1 victory. The rest have resulted in 3 draws and 6 losses.

Scotland’s attack is being rated very low. The only goal they scored against Germany came from a rather ridiculous own goal by Rudiger. In fact, Scotland didn’t even manage to produce any shots on target in that match. Therefore, the likelihood of them scoring against Switzerland is quite low. Meanwhile, Switzerland doesn’t necessarily need a big win against Scotland. Coach Murat Yakin will surely instruct his players to play cautiously if they have an advantage in the match. Therefore, the possibility of the match ending with no more than 2 goals being scored is high.
