Switzerland<\/a> host Scotland<\/a> at the Kybunpark in St Gallen on Monday 16 November, 7.45pm (UK time), as the newly promoted group winners bring the curtain down on their Nations League campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland have already sealed promotion back to League A, while Scotland sit third and need a win plus a favour elsewhere to have any lingering hope of the play-off spot. We have weighed up the form, the group picture and the bet365 markets to land on our best bets, and we are expecting the hosts to finish the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we’re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Switzerland to win to nil<\/strong><\/td>7\/4 (Sky Bet<\/a>)<\/td>Switzerland have conceded just one goal in five group games and shut Scotland out in a 3-0 win at Hampden in September. With a Scotland side that has managed only five goals all campaign arriving as heavy underdogs, another Swiss clean sheet looks a strong angle. At 7\/4 with Sky Bet, backing Switzerland to win to nil appeals far more than the skinny price on a straight home win and fits our 2-0 score prediction neatly.<\/td><\/tr>
Switzerland to win 2-0<\/strong><\/td>13\/2 (bet365<\/a>)<\/td>Murat Yakin’s side have already sealed promotion and will want to finish a superb group unbeaten in front of their own fans in their final game of the year. They beat Scotland 3-0 in the reverse fixture and should have the quality to control this one, so a tidy 2-0 home win is our headline call. At 13\/2 with bet365 it offers plenty of value for anyone happy to back the exact scoreline rather than just the result.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Switzerland go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland have been the standout side in League B Group 1 and have already clinched promotion back to League A, topping the table with 13 points from a possible 15. Murat Yakin<\/a>‘s side have been miserly at the back, conceding just one goal across their five matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They came through the trip to Slovenia<\/a> with a 0-0 draw last time out, the only time they have dropped points all campaign, and they thumped Scotland 3-0 at Hampden back in September. They remain without captain Granit Xhaka<\/a>, ruled out by a calf injury, but Breel Embolo<\/a> is back in the fold to keep them looking settled and experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is Switzerland’s final home game of the year, and after wrapping up promotion they will be determined to sign off an excellent group unbeaten in front of their St Gallen support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Scotland go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scotland arrive third in the group on seven points after a 2-1 win over North Macedonia<\/a> last time out. Sebastien Pocognoli’s side can still mathematically climb to second and the promotion play-off spot, but they would need to win in St Gallen and hope Slovenia slip up against bottom side North Macedonia, so the odds are firmly against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a boost in personnel, with Scott McTominay<\/a> back after a minor heart procedure and Che Adams returning from a muscle problem, both adding much-needed quality after sitting out earlier in the campaign. Even so, goals have been hard to come by, with just five scored in five group games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reverse fixture was a chastening 3-0 home defeat, and getting anywhere near a result on the road against a promoted, in-form Switzerland is a tall order, though the returning pair at least give Scotland more of a threat than they carried last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Switzerland vs Scotland head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These sides met only recently, with Switzerland running out comfortable 3-0 winners at Hampden Park in September, and meetings between the two have been rare down the years. That recent result, allied to Switzerland’s standing as group winners, makes the hosts strong favourites to complete the double over the Scots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland vs Scotland score prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Switzerland have been a class apart in this group and, with promotion already secured, they can play with freedom in front of their own fans in their final outing of the year. Their defensive record is the standout feature of the campaign, just one goal conceded in five games, and they kept Scotland at arm’s length in a 3-0 win at Hampden. Scotland have the returning Scott McTominay and Che Adams to call on, but their outside hopes of the play-off spot are slim and the goals have dried up. We expect the Swiss to control matters and see it out comfortably, with Anthony Eadson backing a 2-0 home win. Score prediction: Switzerland 2-0 Scotland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
