Scotland v Switzerland: Why is the pressure on the Bravehearts?
The Swiss will study the weaknesses of the Scots!
In the Scotland - Switzerland betting tip, the roles are clearly distributed after the first match at the 2024 European Championship. Because the Swiss are the favorites here. This is due to their own victory, but even more so due to the Scots' memorable 5-1 defeat against hosts Germany. This of course begs the question: was Germany that good or Scotland that weak? We will probably get the answer in this game. But our Scotland - Switzerland prediction is already looking ahead to the match. We take a detailed look at the current competition as well as the European Championship qualifiers. This game comes directly after Germany's matchday 2. On Wednesday, June 19, 2024 (9 pm) the kick-off will take place at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne. Up to 50,000 fans will watch the match between Germany's group opponents. ARD and Magenta Sport will broadcast the match in Germany.

What speaks for Scotland vs Switzerland in the betting tip?
Are there really any arguments in favor of a Scottish victory for our sports betting tips today? Let's start with the obvious. The Scots have nothing to lose after the disastrous 1:5 against Germany. Things can only get better. In fact, things didn't go so badly recently. We are thinking in particular of the qualification for the European Championship. The team from Scotland came through with five wins, two draws and one loss (17:8 goals). With Spain, Norway (e.g. Haaland), Georgia and Cyprus, the group was not that bad at all. It should also be noted that the Scots finished their last three games in the group (European Championship qualifiers) without a win. But they could afford to do so.
Scotland have a very capable goalscorer in their ranks in McTominay. He scored seven goals (eight games) and provided one assist in the European Championship qualifiers.

How Scotland failed in the opening game
For our Scotland - Switzerland betting tip, let's take a look back at matchday 1. The Scots had nothing to lose in the opening game and yet they did. Because with a 1:5 you are right at the back. The chance of progressing as one of the better third-placed teams in the group has also receded into the distance. Scotland were already 3-0 down against Germany after the first half (Wirtz, Musiala and Havertz scored). Scotland were also playing short-handed. Porteous was sent off for excessive force against Ilkay Gündogan. However, only the first half of the game was over. Germany substituted Can and Füllkrug, who both scored. In the end, the Scots were defeated 1:5, with their own goal being a gift (Antonio Rüdiger's own goal).
Scotland will have to improve considerably if they are to progress to Euro 2024. In principle, they need at least a point against Switzerland.
How good is Switzerland's current form?
Switzerland certainly has capable and motivated players in its ranks. We are thinking in particular of Granit Xhaka from the German champions - Bayer 04 Leverkusen. We were therefore not very surprised that the Swiss managed to qualify for EURO 2024. Rather, we were surprised that they only managed second place behind Romania. Switzerland achieved four wins, five draws and one defeat. The final score was 22:11 goals. It was worrying that the last four European Championship qualifying matches all ended without a win. However, the Swiss have turned a corner since the start of Euro 2024. So you don't necessarily need a no deposit betting bonus to bet on the Swiss. On the other hand, it doesn't hurt.
Switzerland also have a kicker who has regularly netted in the European Championship qualifiers. We're talking about Amdouni, who has six goals.

How Switzerland impressed in the first game
Our Scotland - Switzerland prediction looks at the Germans' group opponents. In the first match, Switzerland faced Hungary. Many experts expected an even game with a slight advantage for the Swiss. In fact, the Nati were slightly stronger than many expected. Because the score was already 2:0 at half-time, with Duah and Aebischer adding their names to the list of scorers. However, it was clearly too early to take the foot off the gas pedal. Varga scored the 1:2 equalizer for the Hungarians. The match remained exciting until the last minute. Then Embolo scored the 3:1 winner for Switzerland. These nerves of steel are definitely a factor in our expert betting tips.
Scotland vs. Switzerland in the H2H balance sheet
Our Scotland vs Switzerland prediction looks back at 16 matches in the H2H comparison. The Scots actually won 50 percent of the games.
