Scotland face Switzerland in Cologne on Wednesday night, with Steve Clarke’s side in desperate need of a result if they are to have any chance of reaching the Euro 2024 knockout stages.
The Tartan Army were hammered 5-1 by Germany in their opening Group A game, with Scotland playing the whole of the second half with 10 men after Ryan Porteous’s red card in the 45th minute.
Clarke’s side will have seen the Germany clash as a free hit due to the hosts’ superior quality. However, Scotland will be going into Wednesday’s showdown against Switzerland knowing they need a point – or potentially three – before they turn their attention to Hungary in their final group game.

If Scotland can beat Switzerland and Hungary, they will likely progress into the knockout stages behind Germany, who look set to win all three of their Group A matches. A draw and a win could be good enough depending on results elsewhere.

Scotland v Switzerland predictions
Although Scotland will be desperate to get a result on Wednesday, Switzerland might just have too much quality for Clarke’s side.
Switzerland had 15 shots, with seven of them going on target, against Hungary, and their back three of Fabian Schär, Manuel Akanji and Ricardo Rodriguez is solid, with Granit Xhaka in midfield as added protection. We fancy Yakin’s men to just edge it.
