Switzerland vs Northern Ireland Match Preview & Team News

After four matches played in the World Cup Quals, Switzerland still hasn’t suffered a defeat. However, the hosts are six points behind Italy, but they have two games in hand. Vladimir Petkovic’s side opened the campaign with two victories, but Switzerland tied two goalless draws in the last pair of matches. Ricardo Rodriguez and the lads have been almost unbeatable in the back so far, as they conceded just once. On the other hand, the home side has been producing one goal per match on average, and they might improve their efficiency. If they win this one, Switzerland will stay in the competition for the top spot while being at a safe distance from Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland also played four times in these qualifiers so far, and they collected five points. The away side is three points behind Switzerland, but they haven’t lost three times in a row. Ian Baraclough’s team opened the campaign with a 2:0 defeat against Italy, but the visitors conceded only once in the next three matches. They held Switzerland to a goalless draw in their latest clash, and now Northern Ireland has a much tougher challenge. This game might be the key one for Northern Ireland, as they will remain in the race for the World Cup spot if they remain undefeated. However, it is going to be tough, and they need to be very disciplined at Stade de Geneve.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

It will be a tight clash, as the stake is very high, and three points can bring a lot to either side. Nevertheless, we believe the hosts are more experienced in these situations, and they should celebrate a valuable victory here.

Goals Market Prediction

The home side has been excellent in the back lately, as they managed to keep the clean sheet in the previous two games. On the other hand, Northern Ireland failed to score four consecutive times against Switzerland, and the hosts might keep their net intact again.
