Team news

Switzerland playmaker Johan Manzambi has been ruled out due to a calf injury but Burnley forward Zeki Amdouni may return to the starting line-up. 

Scotland could name the same team who started Friday's home victory over North Macedonia, with Scott McTominay and Che Adams in attack. Rangers striker Lawrence Shankland is injured.

Need to know

Switzerland's 0-0 draw in Slovenia on Friday confirmed their promotion from Group B1 of the Nations League but they are unlikely to ease up on matchday six.

The Swiss host Scotland, who start the final round of fixtures in third place — one point behind Slovenia in the race for a play-off spot.

The Scots need a positive result against Switzerland, who took Argentina to extra time in the World Cup quarter-finals before winning their first four Nations League matches.

Scotland manager Sebastien Pocognoli will demand better discipline than his side showed in September's 3-0 home defeat to Switzerland, who capitalised on an early red card for Scottish centre-back Jack Hendry.

Prediction

Switzerland have achieved their primary objective of winning promotion to League A but they should still be too strong for Scotland.

The Scots must take risks if they are to make the play-offs. They need a better result than Slovenia achieve in North Macedonia but Switzerland have kept six clean sheets in their last eight internationals.

Back the hosts to win to nil against Scotland, whose only victories in this group came against bottom side North Macedonia.

Nottingham Forest winger Dan Ndoye, who scored in two of his last three games at the World Cup, poses a major threat to the Scottish defence.

Ndoye's pace led to Hendry's red card in the reverse fixture and he has contributed two goals and three assists in five Nations League starts.

Scotland welcomed back key man Scott McTominay for his first appearance of the Nations League campaign in Friday's 2-1 home win over North Macedonia.

Playing in an advanced role, McTominay had five shots – two of them on target – and he can test the Swiss goalkeeper on matchday six. 

Back Switzerland to win to nil, Dan Ndoye to score or assist & Scott McTominay over 0.5 shots on target, available at 10/1 with LiveScore Bet.
