Scotland v Switzerland - pick of the stats

Scotland have won just one of their last six gmaes with Switzerland, losing twice, with this their first meeting since a 1-1 draw at Euro 2024. Switzerland have won just one of their eight visits to Scotland, losing five times, although that was in their latest visit - by 3-1 in a March 2006 friendly. Scotland have failed to score in their latest three internationals, twice at the World Cup and in Saturday's Nations League opener in Slovenia. They last failed to score in four consecutive matches between February and May 1971. Switzerland's 3-1 extra-time defeat by Argentina in this summer's World Cup quarter-final is their only loss in 10 games, while Scotland are without a win in three since beating Haiti at the finals. Switzerland were 3-0 winners over North Macedonia on Saturday, their biggest away win in the Nations League. They are yet to win back-to-back away matches in the competition. Saturday's 0-0 draw in Slovenia was Scotland's first under new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli. The last manager to keep a clean sheet in his first two games in charge of the Tartan Army was Andy Roxburgh in 1986 (0-0 draws with both Bulgaria and Republic of Ireland). Switzerland faced just two shots and no shots on target against North Macedonia, both record lows for them in a Nations League match – they have kept three clean sheets across their last four matches in all competitions. Hull City striker Oli McBurnie has failed to score in all 17 of his appearances for Scotland in all competitions, with the goalless draw at Slovenia his first game for the national side in 2,005 days. Burnley midfielder Zeki Amdouni was directly involved in all three of Switzerland's goals in their victory over North Macedonia (two goals, one assist), the first player to have three goal involvements in a Nations League match for the Swiss since Haris Seferovic against Belgium in November 2018.
