Scotland v Switzerland - Tough home start for Pocognoli

19:45 kick-off
Live on BBC Two
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.
