Amdouni supplied the decisive moments
Amdouni assisted Freuler's opener in Skopje, then scored before half-time and again in the second half. Switzerland won 3-0 without needing a late rescue.
That followed a World Cup campaign in which they eliminated Algeria and Colombia before losing to Argentina in extra-time. Their opening Nations League win therefore continued a run of competitive results rather than providing an isolated success.
Scotland created chances without finishing them
Sébastien Pocognoli's first match as Scotland manager ended 0-0 in Slovenia. Robbie Ure hit the post, while Oli McBurnie and Kieron Bowie missed good opportunities after the break.
The chances are a reason to take Scotland seriously at Hampden. Their attacking performance was better than a simple blank suggests, and the clean sheet gives them something to build on.
Switzerland have the stronger finishing case
The difference for us is how the two sides used their openings on Saturday. Amdouni was involved in all three Swiss goals; Scotland's forwards left several chances unconverted.
Switzerland also bring the stronger recent tournament run, having reached the World Cup's last eight. Scotland's improvement after half-time in Ljubljana makes this a closer call than the 3-0 and 0-0 opening scores suggest, but we prefer the visitors at @1.85.
Verdict
Back Switzerland to win @1.85. Amdouni's productive opener and the visitors' recent knockout wins give them the edge at Hampden.
