Switzerland attempt to punch their ticket to the knockout stage of the UEFA Euro 2024 when they take on Scotland in a Group A match at Cologne Stadium in Cologne, Germany on Wednesday. Switzerland entered the tournament with a four-game unbeaten streak across all competitions and extended it with a 3-1 victory against Hungary in their Euro 2024 opener last Saturday. They can secure a spot in the Round of 16 with a triumph over Scotland, who recorded a win and a draw in two international friendlies earlier this month before suffering a 5-1 loss to host Germany in their first group-stage match. The Swiss defeated the Scots 3-1 in a friendly in their most recent meeting in 2006.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. The Swiss are -120 favorites (risk $120 to win $100) in the latest Switzerland vs. Scotland odds via SportsLine consensus, while the Scots are +340 underdogs. A 90-minute draw is priced at +250, and the over/under for total goals scored is 2.5 (For more soccer coverage, click here).
Before you lock in your Scotland vs. Switzerland picks or Euro 2024 predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Brandt Sutton has to say.
Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine’s top soccer editor for more than six years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most-informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
Suton finished 2022 as SportsLine’s top soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He also was profitable across multiple leagues in 2023, including the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, Europa League and more.
Sutton knows Switzerland have allowed just two goals during their current five-game unbeaten streak and have lost just one of their last 15 matches across all competitions. The Swiss received a strong effort from Michel Aebischer in their group-stage opener, as the midfielder assisted on forward Kwadwo Duah’s goal in the 12th minute before doubling the club’s lead in the 45th minute. After the Hungarians halved their deficit, forward Breel Embolo tallied in stoppage time to seal the victory.
The expert also has taken into account that Scotland have yet to officially score in the tournament as they only got on the board in their Euro 2024 opener courtesy of an own goal by Germany in the 87th minute. Midfielder Scott McTominay is the club’s biggest offensive weapon, as the 27-year-old netted seven tallies over nine matches in 2023 – including six during Euro 2024 Qualifying. In addition to an own goal by Finland in their 2-2 draw in a friendly on June 7, Scotland saw midfielder Ryan Christie, forward Che Adams and striker Lawrence Shankland convert in their last two games before this competition.
For Wednesday, Sutton has taken an in-depth look at the Switzerland vs. Scotland matchup and is leaning Under on the goal total. He also has released a confident best bet and is offering a full breakdown of this Euro 2024 match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
