Switzerland vs Hungary prediction

Despite Switzerland having already booked their place in the last eight, they won’t want to take their foot off the gas and will have their eyes on finishing with an unbeaten record in Group A. Hungary are coming off the back of an exceptionally disappointing defeat at the hands of Germany, blowing their chance of moving into the top four.

Hungary still has a chance of making the quarter-finals, which makes them dangerous opposition. But when you consider just how good Switzerland have been playing across the group stage, backing them to keep their 100% record going has to be favoured over the course of this encounter.
