Switzerland Northern Ireland betting prediction
 Switzerland |
|  N. Ireland |
Betting suggestion:
This clash tends to be busy, given that only the victory interests the away team who needs to reverse the defeat suffered at home in the first leg, but this will certainly leave spaces for the home team to reach the attack and create opportunities.
In addition, Switzerland has a very fast start on the counterattack and has been scoring regularly at home where they scored goals in the last seven matches. However, Northern Ireland often concedes goals away from home and need to play in an offensive way to try to reach the World Cup.
Given these factors, we believe in an open game, with a good number of chances created and some goals.

Considering the home matches, Switzerland comes from 6 consecutive victories for all competitions and it is worth noting that they did not concede goals in 5 of these games, demonstrating once again the solid defense that is a mark of this group.
For the clash against Northern Ireland, coach Petkovic has no problems in the main team and should repeat the eleven from the first leg.

Analysis N. Ireland
After the home loss in the 1st leg, the away team comes to this 2nd leg with a disadvantage of 1 goal and the hard task of having to come back from a negative result in an away match. 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, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the last 5 WC Qualification Europe away matches Northern Ireland has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 9 of the last 10 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 11 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (76'‑90').
Northern Ireland made a much lower-than-expected match in the first leg at home and now needs to reverse the disadvantage away from home to reach the World Cup in Russia.
The team has a reasonable offensive system, but it has been lacking in the last few games with only 1 goal scored in the last 3 matches, while the defense usually shows good solidity, since it was not leaked in 5 of the last 8 matches for all competitions .
Considering the away matches, Northern Ireland often find it difficult, having won only 6 of the last 33 games taking into account official and friendly matches, and the most worrying is that they conceded goals in 25 of these games, then the defense must demonstrate greater efficiency in this type of situation.
For the decisive match against Switzerland, coach Michael O'Neall is going to the field with maximum strength, since he has all the main athletes at his disposal.
