Scotland continue their plight in League B of the 2026-27 Nations League with a tricky match against Switzerland.
Tuesday night marks Sebastien Pocognoli’s first experience of the raucous Hampden Park atmosphere, and he will hope his team can deliver a five-star performance.
But the Swiss are a serious outfit, evidenced by their run to the quarter-finals of World Cup 2026 – when they narrowly lost out to Lionel Messi’s Argentina.

Scotland vs Switzerland Preview
Recent results
Scotland drew 0-0 with Slovenia in their first Nations League outing of the campaign, a match which was marred by some dreadful pitch conditions. The Tartan Army enjoyed the bulk of possession and took far more shots on goal, but just could not find a way past Jan Oblak between the posts.
Switzerland cruised to a 3-0 victory away at North Macedonia on Matchday 1, with striker Zeki Amdouni netting twice. Murat Yakin’s men are now unbeaten in their last eight competitive games against European opposition, a solid record indeed.
Head-to-head record
Scotland and Switzerland have played each other 17 times previously (though only twice in the 21st century), with the former recording eight wins overall.
The previous clash between these sides at Euro 2024 ended in a 1-1 draw, with the Swiss claiming a 3-1 victory at Hampden Park back in March 2006.
Team news
We expect minimal changes to the XIs here due to the importance of this Nations League fixture.
Scotland are missing the talismanic figure of Scott McTominay, with the Napoli midfielder recovering from minor heart surgery. His absence places even more responsibility at the feet of John McGinn, Lewis Ferguson, Billy Gilmour and captain Andy Robertson.
As for the Swiss, key duo Granit Xhaka and Breel Embolo are unavailable for the whole international break due an ongoing investigation. But Yakin still has some quality operators to pick from, including young Aston Villa star Johan Manzambi and Nottingham Forest’s Dan Ndoye.
Scotland vs Switzerland Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Scotland are the pre-match underdogs here at a price of 3.87. A victory for Switzerland is at odds of 1.87, while the draw is 3.36.
Scotland vs Switzerland Betting Tips
Draw no bet – Scotland @ 2.87
While Scotland are the underdogs, their recent home record in competitive matches is hard to look past. The Tartan Army won three of three at Hampden Park in World Cup 2026 qualifying, including impressive victories over Greece (3-1) and Denmark (4-2). So backing the hosts, with the added bonus of partially covering the draw outcome, looks a solid selection.
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.96
But this BTTS pick also landed in all three of the aforementioned wins in Glasgow, including the 2-1 triumph over Belarus. So given Switzerland’s unquestionable threat in attack, it is perhaps worth opting for both teams to find the back of the net at a pretty good price.
Anytime goalscorer – Ollie McBurnie @ 3.60
McBurnie is back in the Scotland fold after impressing in a Hull jersey of late. The big striker is a constant pest to any defence and his all-action playing style is tailor-made for a loud Hampden Park atmosphere. Amazingly, McBurnie is yet to score in 17 previous international appearances, but backing that to finally change on Tuesday could be a small risk worth taking.
