EURO 2024: Preview and Predictions as Scotland Prepare to Face Switzerland
Line-ups, Preview, and Predictions
Switzerland Grab Two Corners but Ruled Offside
WEB Switzerland came out swinging and managed to grab a couple of corners in the early going. However, their hopes of a third were dashed when the offside flag went up. The Swiss will need to be more clinical in front of goal if they want to come away with a positive result against Scotland.
The match between Scotland and Switzerland is scheduled to kick off at 19:00 CET on June 19, 2024, at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, Germany. Scotland will be looking to bounce back from their opening match defeat to the Czech Republic, while Switzerland will be aiming to build on their victory over Turkey.
Scotland manager Steve Clarke is expected to make several changes to his team for the match against Switzerland. David Marshall is likely to start in goal, with a back four of Kieran Tierney, Scott McKenna, Grant Hanley, and Aaron Hickey. Callum McGregor and Ryan Jack are set to start in central midfield, with John McGinn playing in a more advanced role.
Switzerland manager Murat Yakin is also likely to make some changes to his team for the match against Scotland. Yann Sommer is expected to start in goal, with a back four of Nico Elvedi, Manuel Akanji, Fabian Schar, and Ricardo Rodriguez. Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler are set to start in central midfield, with Xherdan Shaqiri playing in a more advanced role.
Scotland will be confident of getting a positive result against Switzerland. The Scots have a good record against the Swiss, having won four of their last five meetings. However, Switzerland will be no pushovers. The Swiss are a well-organized and disciplined team, and they will be looking to make a statement in their second group match.
