The next Group A match of the 2024 UEFA Euros puts together two S-named teams: Scotland vs Switzerland is both team's second match of the tournament and kick-off is on Wednesday, June 19.

A win in the Scotland vs Switzerland match could make the winner a shoo-in for one of the top spots of Group A; hosts Germany are on track to take the top spot but with Hungary being the other member of the group, the group is wide open.

Scotland lost its first match, which was against Germany in the first game of the tournament. The 5-1 thrashing may have dented the team's confidence somewhat but it'll have to claw it back for a chance to beat Switzerland.

Switzerland won its first match of the tournament, which was against Hungary, in another high-scoring match which saw it clock 3 goals to Hungary's one. At the moment it's on track to proceed to the knockout stage alongside Germany, but that depends on this Scotland match and its showdown against Germany later in the week.
