Switzerland vs Sweden prediction
Coached by Murat Yakin, Switzerland sit at the top of Group B with three victories and a draw from their four matches, sitting three points clear of a surprisingly resolute Kosovan side last month. The Swiss most recently shared a goalless draw with Slovenia in the capital city of Ljubljana.
Sweden, with Graham Potter at the helm, have a very strong squad but they are going to have to wait for the playoffs in March after they majorly let themselves down before the sacking of Jon Dahl Tomasson. They have collected just one point from their four matches after a 1-0 loss to Kosovo in Stockholm
The abundance of talent that the Swedes have should make Switzerland a little wary of a fight back under Potter and it could be quite an entertaining watch for the neutral.
Switzerland vs Sweden tip: Both teams to score
