Scotland and Switzerland collide at Hampden Park on matchday two of the UEFA Nations League on September 29.

Scots Chasing First Win Under Pocognoli

Sebastien Pocognoli will continue his search for a first win as the Scotland manager on Tuesday, when he takes charge of his new team for the first time at Hampden Park.

The Scots continued to struggle in front of goal in a recent 0-0 draw against Slovenia, meaning that they have now failed to score in three straight internationals. However, the stalemate did see Scotland keep a third clean sheet in five matches.

John McGinn will be a crucial player in the final third after registering three goal involvements in five appearances. Andrew Robertson will be fit enough to make his 99th international appearance.

Scotland predicted lineup vs Switzerland (3-4-1-2): Gunn; Hendry, McKenna, Welsh; Hickey, Gilmour, Ferguson, Robertson; McGinn; McBurnie, Ure

Switzerland Chasing Successive Nations League Wins

Murat Yakin’s Switzerland will be aiming to extend their advantage at the top of the Nations League B1 standings on Tuesday. The Swiss were dominant winners on MD1, easing to a 3-0 victory against North Macedonia.

Switzerland have now avoided defeat in nine of their last ten, with their only defeat over that period coming against highly-ranked Argentina. The Swiss have scored 12 goals in their previous six fixtures.

Granit Xhaka is unavailable for the fixtures during this international window. Zeki Amdouni has been in excellent recent form, registering five goal involvements in four appearances.

Switzerland predicted lineup vs Scotland (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Athekame, Elvedi, Akanji, Rodriguez; Freuler, Jashari; Rieder, Manzambi, Ndoye; Amdouni
