Sweden vs Switzerland prediction

Sweden have a brilliant side and performed well in their recent UEFA 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.
