Scotland will look to put the heavy defeat in their opening game behind them at they look to gain three essential points against Switzerland in this Group A clash.

Scotland vs Switzerland Prediction

A well-beaten Scotland head to Cologne in search of their first points at this summer's tournament, but will need to be much improved on Friday's performance against Germany to stand a chance.

Switzerland looked well-organised and defensively strong in their victory over Hungary, with Bayer Leverkusen's Granit Xhaka running the game from the heart of midfield.

This will be the first competitive meeting between these two sides since a 1-0 victory for Scotland at Euro 96.

Expect a reaction from Steve Clarke's side, but it still may not prove enough here…

Score Prediction: Scotland 1-2 Switzerland (17/2 bet365)

Scotland vs Switzerland Betting Tips

Scotland were rampant at the start if their qualifying campaign. Their five-match winning run was enough to help them secure their place in Euro 2024 but that form has fizzled out. They have now picked up just one win in their last 10 and have conceded an average of 2.6 goals per game over that period.

In contrast, Switzerland have lost just on of their last 15 matches. During that run, they are scoring an average of 2.07 goals per game and conceding just 0.87. Their win over Hungary in their first match will serve as a morale booster and they should get the job done here.

Tip: Switzerland to Win at 17/20 (Betfair) (1 point)
