This match will decide the outcome of Scotland’s chances

Scotland suffered a disappointing loss in the opening match against Germany as they got completely outplayed. The sending off of Ryan Porteous didn’t help the team either, after he made a lacklustre challenge on Gundogan, resulting in a penalty and a red card for him. However, they did show flashes of fightback in the second half, but it was too much for them as the Germans dominated them, playing the whole second half with ten men. This match will be crucial for them as they aim to advance to the next round.

Switzerland started their Euro 2024 campaign with a 3-1 victory over Hungary in the opening match. Duah and Aebischer scored their first goals for the nation in this crucial game as they aim to advance to the next round, with Germany being the clear favourites. The battle for second place will be intense as they face off against Scotland in a critically important match. Murat Yakin will be pleased with his team’s performance in the opening match as they were dominant throughout the game.

Player to Watch

Andy Robertson (Scotland) 

The Skipper is a vital player for the side with his experience of leading the team in challenging times after making over 72 appearances for the team. He made his debut for the national team in 2014 and has scored three goals for them. Robertson has emerged as one of the best left-backs in world football after putting in consistent performance for Liverpool in the Premier League. 

Granit Xhaka (Switzerland) 

Granit Xhaka is one of the most crucial players in the Swiss side after making over 126 appearances for them while netting 14 goals. He had an incredible season with Bayer Leverkusen with whom he won the Bundesliga und DFB Pokal. Xhaka is an elite midfielder who helps out his defence by shielding them while also joining in attacks with his play. He can also score some wonderful goals at the same time as he has a wonderful left-footed.
