Scotland will look to keep their hopes of securing second spot in Nations League B Group 1 as they travel to Kybunpark to take on table-toppers Switzerland.
Sebastien Pocognoli clinched his first home win as Scotland boss on Friday night, as a John McGinn brace secured a 2-1 win over North Macedonia.
Despite that win, the Scots remain in the relegation playoff spot and know they must win in St. Gallen on Monday and hope Slovenia fail to win away to North Macedonia.
Switzerland, on the other hand, have had a strong Nations League campaign, winning each of their opening four clashes.
Murat Yakin’s hosts then secured top spot on Friday night despite being held to a goalless draw away at Slovenia.
How the bookies view it: Swiss favourites
Switzerland are favourites to make it five wins from six in the Nations League, with bet365 pricing a home win at 7/10.
Scotland are 4/2 outsiders to claim the three points that they require, whilst the draw is 11/4
Head to head: Scotland with the edge
Scotland have the overall edge, winning eight of the 18 meetings between these two nations (W8-D4-L6).
However, Switzerland are unbeaten in each of the last three, including a 0-3 victory in the reverse fixture at Hampden last month.
Players to watch: Zeki to strike again?
Zeki Amdouni is Switzerland’s top scorer in the Nations League this term, scoring on three occasions, as well as having an assist to his name.
One of those goals came in the 0-3 success at Hampden last month, and the Burnley attacker is priced at 20/21 to Score or Assist in St. Gallen on Monday evening.

Predicted line-ups:
Switzerland will be without a few of their key players, with Granit Xhaka, Johan Manzambi and Dan Ndoye all unavailable.
Scotland are missing Stephen Welsh, Scott McKenna, Luis Binks and Lawrence Shankland due to injury.
Switzerland: Kobel, Athekame, Akanji, Elvedi, Britschgi, Zakaria, Freuler, Amdouni, Rieder, Aebischer, Embolo
Scotland: Gunn, Porteous, Graham, Tierney, Doak, Ferguson, Gilmour, Robertson, McGinn, McTominay, Adams
Anything else catch the eye?
Scotland require a win in St. Gallen to have any chance of finishing in second spot in Nations League B Group 1, but that’s a big ask against a quality Swiss side.
The Swiss have won four of their five Nations League fixtures, scoring 11 goals, including a 0-3 success at Hampden last month.
Even more impressively, Murat Yakin’s hosts have conceded a solitary strike across their five matches, with all four of their victories featuring fewer than five goals, and a repeat pays an appealing 10/11 at Coral/Ladbrokes.
