Scotland vs Switzerland Prediction: 19/6/2024

RheinEnergieStadion will be the venue for the Group A clash between Scotland and Switzerland, with both teams vying for a top-two finish. Scotland are looking to bounce back from a heavy 5-1 defeat to Germany but will have to do so without suspended defender Ryan Porteous. Consequently, Norwich City center-back Grant Hanley is expected to step in against the Swiss side.

Switzerland, on the other hand, delivered an impressive 3-1 victory over Hungary. Murat Yakin’s squad appears well-balanced, and with a full roster available, an away win looks likely. The last time these teams faced each other in the European Championship finals was in 1996 when Scotland triumphed 1-0. This time, the Swiss are eager for revenge. A key player to watch for the visitors will be Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka, who had a standout Bundesliga season.

Prediction: 1-2
