Scotland boss Sebastien Pocognoli oversaw a 0-0 in Slovenia in his first game in charge on Saturday. Playing in front of their own fans at Hampden Park on Tuesday will give the team a boost but they are 3/14.00 outsiders against Switzerland 9/101.90.

The visitors, who arrive in Glasgow following a 3-0 win in North Macedonia, continue to be one of the sleekest outfits in European football, quietly going out about their business and getting results. They reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in the summer before losing in extra-time against Argentina.

For Scotland, the World Cup was disappointing and their biggest problem was scoring goals - they managed just one in their three matches - and, as mentioned, failed to find the net on Saturday.

But how will Scotland v Switzerland play out? Will there be goals? Is the market underestimating Scotland or will the Swiss outclass their hosts? Who will be the goalscorers?

Below are three pertinent stats from Opta and related bets.

Scotland v Switzerland Bet #1 - Back the Draw

Scotland have won just one of their last six meetings with Switzerland in all competitions (D3 L2), with this their first meeting since a 1-1 draw at UEFA EURO 2024. Meanwhile, Switzerland have won just one of their eight away games against Scotland in all competitions (D2 L5), though it was on their last visit in a March 2006 friendly (3-1).

Scotland v Switzerland Bet #2 - Back under 1.5 goals

Scotland have failed to score in their last three internationals, twice at the FIFA World Cup and in their UEFA Nations League opener at Slovenia. They last failed to score in four consecutive matches between February and May 1971.

Scotland v Switzerland Bet#3 - Back Amdouni to strike again

Zeki Amdouni was directly involved in all three of Switzerland's goals in their MD1 victory (2 goals, 1 assist), the first player to have three goal involvements in a UEFA Nations League match for the nation since Haris Seferovic vs Belgium in November 2018.
