Scotland vs Switzerland preview

Scotland need a result of some kind when matchday two comes around on Wednesday.

Steve Clarke’s men are desperate to bounce back from a terribly disappointing performance against the hosts on Friday.

There’s no shame in the score line; Germany clearly have a much stronger squad.

But the Scots looked all over the place with big players like Scott McTominay and John McGinn – a pair the Tartan Army expect to shine this summer – completely anonymous.

Switzerland got off to a perfect start over the weekend, winning 3-1 against Hungary.

The Swiss dominated in terms of the ball and in chances, particularly in a strong second half showing.

Any sort of result here would stand them in great stead to progress. And they’ll hope to do so before playing Germany on matchday three.

Scotland vs Switzerland tips

All square

Scotland can’t afford to lose. Avoiding defeat really suits Switzerland.

So that’s set up to end in a point each when the sides meet on Wednesday night.

Five of Switzerland’s last nine games in all competitions have ended in draws, too.

• BTTS & match result to be a draw at 4/1 with William Hill –

Step up

After a pretty disappointing night, John McGinn will be more desperate than anyone to put that right.

With more attacking chances likely here, McGinn – likely to come in off the right – can make his presence felt.

18 goals in 67 caps – we’ve taken a bit of insurance just looking for a shot on target.

• John McGinn to have at least 1 shot on target at 4/5 with William Hill –

Can Du attitude

Kwadwo Duah opened his account for the championships with a goal inside a quarter of an hour on Saturday.

The 27-year-old had three efforts on goal in that win over Hungary and he’s a major threat to Scotland’s hopes here.

• Kwadwo Duah shot on target in both halves at 16/5 with William Hill –
