A match between the national teams of Scotland and Switzerland will be held in the 2nd round of the Euro on June 19, 2024. After a major defeat, the nominal hosts are obliged to fight for points, ideally for victory. A draw would be enough for their opponent to virtually guarantee the play-offs.

Scotland – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Tartan Army” actually secured entry to the Euro in the first lap of qualifying – the team started with 5 victories in a row, including over Spain, there. Still, only 1 match was won after September last year – that happened in the struggle with Gibraltar, this summer. And then the team finished with a 2-0 score!
It was “the Highlanders” who had the opportunity to open the Euro last Friday. Speaking about the match with the Germans, they practically fell flat, and Rudiger even scored against Neuer. A 1-5 score was the worst result in the 1st round, and now the team needs to play in an attacking style, fighting for points.
Switzerland – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Nati” encountered certain problems in qualifying for the first time in a number of cycles. The team had a stretch of 5 draws in 6 rounds, and ended the qualifying round with a defeat made by the Romanians. The higher mentioned result, however, did not stop it from entering the Euro together with the opponent.
Murat Yakin’s team did not improve the performance much in 2024 either. It is reasonable to mention the victories over Ireland and Estonia, but there were only draws with Denmark and Austria. Starting the championship, against Hungary, the team led by two goals. Then, however, it did not withstand the pressure perfectly and even conceded, but Embolo, coming on as a substitute, made a 3-1 score in the end.

Free prediction for the match Scotland vs Switzerland
“The Nati” performed much more confidently at the Euro. Let’s believe that this team will be able to defeat the opponent, which cannot afford to close in defence (odd: 1.85).
