Sweden vs Switzerland prediction
Sweden have a brilliant side and performed well in their recent Nations League campaign but that progress has been undone by an underwhelming 2-2 draw with Slovenia last month being followed up by a shock and potentially damning 2-0 defeat to Kosovo in qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
They now face a Switzerland side that, under the management of Murat Yakin, have began their campaign extremely impressively as perennial major tournament qualifiers, starting with back-to-back victories as they defeated Kosovo by four goals to nil before a 3-0 victory over Slovenia a few days’ later.
Switzerland will believe they can get themselves on the front foot here and so this should be quite a good watch for the neutral as Sweden need to win.
The Switzerland national football team will be at home for their upcoming outing and will be looking for yet another win. They have won three of their four World Cup qualifying games.
The Blågult will be under pressure from the start due to their poor run of performances. They have not won any of their World Cup qualifiers in the ongoing campaign.
The Sweden national football team lack consistency. If they won’t not step up now, it is going to cost them moving forward.
