The second fixture in the Group A table and the 8pm evening kick-off, will see ‘The Tartan Army’ take on the ‘A-Team’ in what could well be a decisive fixture into who qualifies alongside favourites Germany. While Scotland have been definitively labelled as the underdogs in the group, managing just one win since their Cyprus fixture last September, Switzerland’s dominant qualifying display with just a single loss in 2023 should have them on top, but let’s take a look into the Scotland vs Switzerland betting odds, to see whether the bookies are predicting just as big a gap as the numbers says.
Looking at the latest Euro 2024 odds according to BetVictor, at the time of writing, the sides are far closer together than some might expect. Scotland have odds of 13/5*, meaning a £10 bet would return £36 if they win over 90 minutes, while Switzerland are at evens of 1/1*, so the same £10 wager would payout £20. Currently, the odds on a draw are 12/5*, with a £10 stake paying £34 if successful. While Scotland have fallen to 39th in the FIFA world rankings, Switzerland sit 20 places higher in 19th and will undoubtedly be keen to land all 3 points and keep the pressure on hosts Germany and fellow group member Hungary.
Scotland’s coach Steve Clarke, will be hoping his captain, Andy Robertson, will drive his side to victory as they look to get past the Group stages for the first time in their history and overcome the absence of Lyndon Dykes who they lost through injury, while Switzerland’s coach Murat Yakin, will undoubtedly hope that captain Granit Xhaka and vice-captain Xherdan Shaqiri, the country’s two highest capped players, can buoy their team on and end the match with all three points. While the odds look closer than some might have anticipated, a strong Swiss line-up should see them get their job done, and we predict a comfortable victory for the Switzerland national team when the final whistle has gone.
