Scotland vs Switzerland

Grant Heaney has three player tips for Scotland vs Switzerland, including going back in for another bet on Callum McGregor. Two of his first three bets came in. 

Andrew Robertson to be fouled @ 10/11 Sky Bet

While Steve Clarke is expected to make changes to his starting XI on Wednesday night, one player who is almost certain to start is Andy Robertson.

The Scotland skipper tends to operate in a left wing-back role in Scotland’s 3-4-2-1 system, so he is likely to be given licence to roam forward against the Swiss.

Scotland earned nine free-kicks during last Friday night’s curtain-raiser with Germany, with Robertson drawing one of those fouls from the host nation.

The Scots will undoubtedly be fired up for this fixture and they should see a lot more of the ball in forward areas, making Robertson an appealing prospect to pick up another foul at 10/11 on Sky Bet.

Granit Xhaka 1+ Shot on Target @ 17/10 10Bet

Granit Xhaka was one of the standout performers during Switzerland's 3-1 win over Hungary last Saturday.

The Switzerland captain covered every blade of grass in a man-of-the-match performance and appears to be playing at the peak of his powers following a brilliant season with Bayer Leverkusen.

Xhaka registered one on-target effort against Hungary last time out and he looks worth backing to repeat the trick against a wounded Scotland side on Wednesday night at 17/10 on 10Bet. 

The Swiss midfield maestro isn’t shy about letting fly from range and he could also potentially find himself on penalty duty, so long as Xherdan Shaqiri is not on the field. This same selection is as short as even-money elsewhere.

Callum McGregor to Commit 2+ Fouls at  @ 3/1 Paddy Power

I tipped up Callum McGregor to commit a solitary foul against Germany last Friday night and the Scotland midfielder duly delivered during the first-half of the game.

The same selection is too skinny to side with again this midweek but I’m more than happy to instead opt for 2+ McGregor fouls here at an attractive 3/1 with Paddy Power.

The Celtic skipper fell foul of the referee twice during Scotland’s 5-1 mauling in Munich and he should be in the thick of the midfield battle during this crunch clash in Cologne.

It’s also worth pointing out that McGregor committed 2+ fouls in each of his final five appearances for Celtic this season, highlighting the value in siding with this selection on Wednesday night.
