Scotland will go hunting their first points of Euro 2024 when they face Group A rivals Switzerland in Cologne on Wednesday.
Steve Clarke’s side will be looking to bounce back from their humiliating 5-1 defeat against Germany in Munich on Friday.
They capitulated to the tournament hosts after having Ryan Porteous sent off on the stroke of half-time, but the coach insists the squad “know what went wrong”.
The Swiss want to sustain the momentum they established when beating Hungary 3-1 in Cologne on Saturday afternoon.
Prediction
Based on their performances in the opening games, Switzerland should be the clear favourites to secure all three points in Cologne.
Scotland’s defending was abject and they are likely to be exposed again by a confident Swiss outfit.
Nati have found a nice balance between attack and defence, while Scotland are struggling at both ends of the pitch.
Their problems stem from before the tournament began, when a run of defeats in friendly matches appears to have drained their belief.
Scotland have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last 10 internationals and it would be strange if that trend didn’t continue in Cologne.
