Switzerland vs Austria prediction

When taking into account that Switzerland finished the group stage with six wins from seven games and 19 points overall, ten more than their opponents here who finished fourth-place in Group A, it’s easy to see why The Swiss are expected to make it through to the semi-finals ahead of Austria, who in contrast won just two group matches in regulation, as well as two during overtime.

Having already racked up 34 goals in the tournament, Switzerland will be eagerly anticipating the prospect of facing a defence who have shipped 18 goals so far, the second most of the eight quarter-finalists. Any outcome here other than victory for Switzerland would be a big surprise.
