Scotland face Switzerland on June 19 at the RheinEnergieStadion, Cologne. This will be the second game of Euro 2024 for the Scots, with this fixture being a must-win for the Tartan Army after they were demolished 5-1 by a rampant Germany. Here is our Scotland predicted lineup for this must-win game.
Scotland Predicted Lineup vs. Switzerland
How Scotland Have Lined-up Recently
Scotland mostly line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation with Norwich City goalkeeper Angus Gunn in goal. Steve Clarke, unfortunately, lost his two preferred right-backs before the tournament, meaning Anthony Ralston started the opening game of Euro 2024. Jack Hendry, Ryan Porteous and Kieran Tierney appeared in defence alongside Ralston and Andy Robertson of Liverpool.

In midfield for the opening game, Gilmour was surprisingly left out, with Ryan Christie, Callum McGregor, Scott McTominay and John McGinn getting the nod. We are predicting Gilmour starts alongside Mctominay, with Mainstays Christie and McGinn starting behind Ché Adams, who we predict will continue in attack due to his work rate.
Scotland Recent Form and Tactics
The Tartan Army endured a tough build-up to Euro 2024, blowing a 2-0 lead against Finland and experiencing heavy defeats against Netherlands and France. A win before the tournament against Gibraltar was the Tartan Army’s first win since their 3-0 success vs. Cyprus on September 8, 2023.

Steve Clarke’s men endured a tough baptism of fire in their opening game – and they will need to raise their game to beat a tough Swiss team, who beat Hungry 3-1 in their opening game. We expect Scotland to line up in their consistent 3-4-2-1 formation for this huge clash in Cologne.
Scotland Injuries and Suspensions to Consider
Impressive midfield man Lewis Ferguson is a big miss after experiencing an anterior cruciate ligament tear before the tournament started. Ryan Porteous will be suspended for Wednesday’s match, after his red card in the opener against Germany.
