Northern Ireland Switzerland betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this challenge will be for Switzerland not to lose. We believe that it will be a very open game and with several chances of goal, mainly for Switzerland, since it presents a squad with great offensive quality. Despite playing inside doors, Northern Ireland does not have enough weapons to support this opponent. Having said this and taking into account these factors, betting in favor of the Swiss in this game is a great value.

The home team got access to this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (2nd Round) after having finished the group stage in the 2nd position of Group C, with 19 points won. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 11 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 10 conceded.

The Northern Irish team arrives in this game with a 1-0 defeat against Norway, adding to their second consecutive defeat in official matches. To reach this play-off, the home team finished in 2nd place in Group C.

The away team comes to this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (2nd Round) after having finished the group stage in the 2nd position of Group B, with 27 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 25 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 32 goals scored and 11 conceded.

Switzerland's squad start this match with a 2-0 defeat against Portugal, thus falling to second place in Group B. Normally the coach Vladimir Petkovic plays in 4-2-3-1 privileging possession of the ball and organized attacks: Dzemaili is responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process.
