In the upcoming match between Switzerland and Scotland, both teams are anticipating a different opponent than the one that suffered a heavy defeat against Germany. Both Switzerland manager Murat Yakin and defender Manuel Akanji are impressed with Scotland’s excellent qualifying campaign and believe that their notable victories against Spain and Norway are a true representation of their abilities.
Akanji emphasized the threat that Scotland possesses and highlighted players like John McGinn and Scott McTominay, who have been performing exceptionally well for their respective clubs. He also acknowledged the danger of Andy Robertson’s attacking prowess down the left side of the field. Yakin praised Germany’s performance in the previous game but dismissed any notion that Scotland failed to deliver.
Switzerland’s lineup boasts players with successful seasons in top leagues, such as goalkeeper Yann Sommer, defender Manuel Akanji, and captain Granit Xhaka. They have players like Michel Aebischer who made a significant impact in their recent victory against Hungary. Scotland faces a tough challenge against Switzerland and will need to be prepared for a highly competitive match where a loss is not an option.
