Whispers predicts: Scotland 1-1 Switzerland
Scotland showed enough attacking promise against Slovenia to suggest they can trouble Switzerland, while the visitors should carry a significant threat of their own.
A draw is priced at 12/5, and we expect the two sides to cancel each other out in a closely fought contest.
Under 2.5 goals is available at 3/4, while Zeki Amdouni is priced at 15/8 to score anytime after his two-goal display against North Macedonia.
We are also backing the 1-1 correct score at 11/2, with both teams capable of finding the net without either side doing enough to secure all three points.
> Draw at 12/5 | Likelihood: Likely
> Under 2.5 goals at 3/4 | Likelihood: Probable
> Zeki Amdouni to score anytime at 15/8 | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct score of 1-1 at 11/2 | Likelihood: Outsider
