Denmark vs Switzerland prediction: WORLD: Friendly International betting tips on match 2024-03-22 19:00.
[p]Both Denmark and Switzerland have already secured their places at this summer’s UEFA European Championships, but the hosts could field an experimental line-up with Kasper Hjulmand selecting a number of inexperienced or uncapped players. Regardless, he’ll be keen to avoid suffering back-to-back defeats after rounding off their qualifying campaign with a 2-0 defeat to Northern Ireland.[/p]
[p]That result didn’t matter so much, as the Scandinavians had already managed to secure top spot in their group, but it was the first time in two years that they’d lost a competitive game by more than one goal! Denmark’s record on home soil is formidable though, and having won their last seven encounters at Parken Stadium (and lost just one of their last 14 there – W13), they quite rightly enter this game as favourites. [/p]
[p]After a strong start to Euro 2024 qualifying (W4, D2), Switzerland failed to win on any of their four outings from that point on (D3, L1). Manager Murat Yakin will also need to address a chronic inability among his squad to see out matches after scoring the opener, as they have only won one of the last six games when doing so (D5). [/p]
[p]The Red Crosses have some torrid H2H form to overcome having failed to win any of their last five meetings with Denmark (D3, L2). With several of Switzerland’s stars potentially taking part in their last ever European Championship finals – including Yann Sommer, Xherdan Shaqiri and captain Granit Xhaka – there definitely appears to be a changing of the guard on the horizon, but encouragingly, each of the national side’s last four goals have been scored by players aged 28 or under. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Rasmus Højlund has seven goals in his last seven games for Manchester United, and also netted seven during the most recent Euros qualifying campaign. Just one behind him during that period was Zeki Amdouni, although curiously, he has only been on the winning side in one of his last five scoring appearances for club and country (W1, D3, L1). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: There hasn’t been a goal in the first 20 minutes of Denmark’s last 19 matches![/p]
