Sebastien Pocognoli’s era as Scotland manager started on a positive note with a goalless draw at Slovenia, but a showdown with Switzerland at Hampden Park should be far more conclusive.
The Tartan Army may feel that they deserved more in their Nations League opener in Ljubljana given that they dominated the shot count 17-4, but this represents a tougher challenge.
Switzerland have taken ascendancy in Nations League Group B1 courtesy of a 3-0 win in North Macedonia and they will be keen to show that there was no fluke about their run to the World Cup quarter-finals.

Team news
Lawrence Shankland, Scott McTominay and Che Adams are all missing for Scotland through injury and Pocognoli may be reluctant to make many changes after a strong performance in Slovenia.
Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean withdrew from the squad and any tactical tweaks are likely to be in attack with Kieron Bowie pushing strikers Oli McBurnie and Robbie Ure for a start.
Breel Embolo, Granit Xhaka and Denis Zakaria are three notable absentees for Switzerland, otherwise manager Fabian Rieder may field the same team that won 3-0 in North Macedonia on Saturday.
The stats

Prediction
Switzerland enjoyed a productive World Cup campaign, only losing out in extra-time of their quarter-final clash with eventual runners-up Argentina, and they made a winning start to the Nations League.
The Swiss strolled to victory in North Macedonia, registering 23 shots in an emphatic 3-0 win, and they may have too much firepower for Scotland.
The Tartan Army have failed to score in three games and will still be adjusting to the methods of Pocognoli in only his second match in charge.
Zeki Amdouni impressed in deputising for Embolo up front in Saturday's win, having seven shots and scoring twice, and he can test the gloves of Scottish shot-stopper Angus Gunn.
A booking could be on the cards for Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson, who has picked up five yellows in 28 caps and made four fouls in the draw with Slovenia.
Score Prediction: Scotland 0-2 Switzerland
