Switzerland W vs Iceland W prediction: EUROPE: Euro Women betting tips on match 2025-07-05 19:00.
[p]UEFA Women’s European Championship hosts Switzerland look to bounce back from a bad start as they take on Iceland, also losers in their first game, on matchday two in Bern.聽[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Despite taking an early lead on matchday one, Switzerland fell to a 2-1 defeat against Norway, conceding twice in the space of four second-half minutes. While a hugely disappointing loss for the hosts, form suggested it wasn鈥檛 entirely a surprise, as Pia Sundhage鈥檚 side have now won just one of their last ten matches (D2, L7). Another defeat here would almost certainly see them bow out at the group stage of a third successive Euros finals.聽[/p]
[p]Despite being the highest-ranked nation in this group, Iceland are in a similar predicament to their opponents after a poor performance led to a 1-0 defeat against Finland. That loss extended a bleak run of just one win from 12 games (D5, L6), while their record in this competition doesn鈥檛 inspire much hope that things are going to change, with their 14 matches at the finals yielding just one victory so far (D4, L9).聽[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]These two clash in the finals for a second time, after they were paired together in Group C at the 2017 edition. Switzerland won that game 2-1, but Iceland have avoided defeat in the three H2Hs played since (W1, D2).聽[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Four of Switzerland鈥檚 last five matches have produced 3+ total match goals.聽[/p]
[p]Switzerland have kept just one clean sheet across their last 12 games.聽[/p]
[p]Three of Iceland鈥檚 last four games have produced under 2.5 goals.聽[/p]
[p]Iceland have never scored more than once in a Euro finals game.聽[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Nadine Riesen鈥檚 opener against Norway may have been in vain, but it was her fourth direct goal contribution in five matches for club and country (G1, A3), all of which have come before half-time. While opponent Sveind铆s J贸nsd贸ttir didn鈥檛 have the same joy in front of goal on matchday one, she was Iceland’s top scorer in qualifying with three goals and scored the winner in Iceland鈥檚 most recent H2H success back in April 2023.[/p]
[p]There鈥檚 no new fresh injury news in the Switzerland camp, but Hildur Antonsd贸ttir won鈥檛 be available for Iceland after being sent off against Finland, while captain and key defender Gl贸d铆s Vigg贸sd贸ttir went off injured at half-time in that match.聽[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]It鈥檚 hard to pick a winner between these two given that they both arrive under pressure and in poor form. That could set up a cagey affair, so backing under 2.5 goals could be a wise move here.聽[/p]
