Steve Clarke&#8217;s men may have scored twice against both Gibraltar and Finland last week, but those two sides represent weaker opposition than the Netherlands and Northern Ireland, who both kept clean sheets against the Tartan Army in March. Switzerland meanwhile have conceded just once in their four pre-tournament friendlies and are looking a little more solid defensively after some below-par performances in qualifying.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Key players expected to impact the Scotland vs Switzerland match<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Scotland &#8211; Scott McTominay<\/h3>\n<p>Not only is Scott McTominay one of the biggest names in this Scotland side as a Manchester United stalwart, he&#8217;s also one of their biggest goal threats having chipped in with no fewer than seven goals in eight appearances in qualifying for this tournament. That total is inclusive of the 27 year old&#8217;s brace as the Tartan Army shocked Spain at Hampden Park and given the lack of consistency displayed by forwards such as Che Adams and Lyndon Dykes at international level, the travelling Scotland fans will be hoping McTominay can step up with a goal in Cologne.<\/p>\n<h3>Switzerland &#8211; Granit Xhaka<\/h3>\n<p>Hoping to track McTominay&#8217;s surging runs from midfield and come up with a few of his own for Switzerland is Granit Xhaka. The 31 year old is fresh from the best season of his club career having won the Bundesliga title with Bayer Leverkusen and he will be tasked with transitioning this Switzerland side from defence to attack at Euro 2024. This game could be won and lost in the midfield, but in the form he&#8217;s in Xhaka will back himself to win any head-to-head battle at the tournament.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Scotland vs Switzerland Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scotland&#8217;s Euro 2024 continues as they take on Switzerland in their second fixture of the tournament in Cologne.
