Scotland vs. Switzerland Analysis
These teams had very different opening-match results.
Switzerland won, 3-1, over Hungary. They prevailed by expected goals (xG), as well, 2.3-1.3, per FBRef’s xG model. It was a sublime start for a Swiss side that won just once over its final seven Euro qualifying matches, although they drew five of those clashes.
Scotland were thrashed, 5-0, by the host Germans and failed to accrue any xG themselves while permitting 2.1 xG to Germany. Scotland have won just once over their past eight matches, with the win coming in a friendly against Gibraltar.
