Switzerland vs Sweden prediction: EUROPE: World Cup – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-11-14 19:45.
[p]Top plays bottom in World Cup Qualification (WCQ) Group B, as Switzerland could potentially confirm their qualification for next year’s showpiece when they host Sweden, who are holding onto the most minuscule of qualification hopes.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]A near flawless WCQ campaign thus far (W3, D1) means Switzerland have two chances at sewing up qualification, as they lead second-place Kosovo by three points prior to each side’s penultimate game, with the two due to meet in the final round. Not conceding a goal all campaign has been the backbone of Switzerland being on the brink of qualifying for a sixth successive World Cup, and the Red Devils will now be hoping their home form over the last few years can help carry them over the line, having lost just once at home since June 2022 (W8, D6).[/p]
[p]Sweden have had a horrendous WCQ campaign as they sit on a single point after four games, facing what will potentially be their fourth missed finals in their last five attempts at qualifying. The Swedes have never gone a qualification campaign for a major tournament without winning a single game, and they’ll need to ensure that record stays intact if they’re to keep the smallest of embers burning in the hopes of a miracle, but just three wins in their last 11 away matches (D3, L5) hint that their hopes may finally be extinguished here.  [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Switzerland won the reverse fixture 2-0, breaking what was a four-game winless streak against the Swedes prior (D2, L2). The overall all-time record is evenly split at 11 wins apiece and seven draws.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]The same half-time result has been replicated come full-time in nine of Switzerland’s last ten games.[/p]
[p]Five of Switzerland’s last six home matches saw over 2.5 goals scored. [/p]
[p]Just four of Sweden’s last 11 games saw both teams score. [/p]
[p]Only one of Sweden’s last seven away fixtures saw the opening goal scored within 20 minutes.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Breel Embolo has been Switzerland’s top scorer this WCQ campaign, with all three of his goals this cycle coming at home and in the first half. Looking to steal the show will be Anthony Elanga, who usually leaves his mark in national colours since four of his five goals for Sweden have either served as the match opener or the last goal of the game.[/p]
[p]Swiss manager Murat Yakin has acknowledged the absences of Remo Freuler and Ardon Jashari through injury, while also excluding Noah Okafor from selection. Sweden’s absentee list is headlined by injured Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Switzerland have been emphatic lately and will be looking to put Sweden to the sword, hence backing Switzerland to win by 2+ goals beefs up the potential returns. [/p]
