Switzerland vs Czechia prediction

Both Switzerland and Czechia have so far, done everything expected of them at this tournament. Each were outclassed by Canada, but both took care of France, setting up this contest for the right to finish second-place in the group, which could prove crucial down the stretch. Expect the two teams to deploy very attacking styles of play, showing high aggression in a bid to overpower their respective opponents.

The match itself has the potential to go either way, although Czechia will likely be looked at as narrow favourites with bigger-name stars within their roster. Regardless of who emerges triumphant though, a high-scoring battle should be on the cards and backing over 5.5 goals is a move worth making.

Switzerland vs Czechia tip: Over 5.5 total goals
