Portugal Switzerland betting prediction

The away team comes to this stage of the UEFA Nations League (Semi‑finals) after having finished the group stage in the 1^st position of Group 2, with 9 points won. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 39 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the EC Qualification, they got a home tie against Denmark by (3‑3). In the last 10 away matches Switzerland has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 4 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 13 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 9 of their 16 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Switzerland were one of the great surprises of this Nations League's knock-out phase, having won their group ahead of Belgium and Iceland. It is important to remember that the Swiss arrive for this match with a 3-3 home draw against Denmark: the team's goals were signed by Freuler, Xhaka and Embolo. Usually coach Vladimir Petkovic plays in 4-3-3, benefiting the low block and the fast transitions to the attack, mainly through the left aisle: Zuber is a very fast player in the counterattack. We emphasize the importance of Xhaka in the team's tactical scheme, being phenomenal in the offensive process. Naturally Switzerland have presented some defensive shortcomings, especially in set pieces. Apparently there are no absences for this game.
