Switzerland
DWDDWW 📈
Switzerland will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 2-1 WC triumph over Canada.
In that match, Switzerland had 55% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. For Switzerland, the goalscorers were Ruben Vargas (46') and Johan Manzambi (57'). Canada had 13 shots at goal with 7 on target. Promise David (76') scored for Canada.
Switzerland have not been the best at stopping their opponents of late, but they’ve also done enough to hit the back of the net themselves. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Switzerland have conceded in 5 of them in addition to scoring in 5 of those matches. That pattern might not be carried forward here, however.
Algeria
DWWLWD
In their previous fixture, Algeria drew 3-3 in the WC tie with Austria.
In that game, Algeria managed 65% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. For Algeria, goals were scored by Rafik Belghali (45') and Riyad Mahrez (60', 90'). At the other end, Austria got 10 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Marko Arnautović (28'), Marcel Sabitzer (55') and Saša Kalajdžić (90') scored for Austria.
Throughout their 6 previous matches, Algeria have turned their attacks into goals a total of 10 times, giving them the goals per game average of 1.67.
🧠
Prediction
We feel that Algeria may not find it easy to hit the back of the net against this Switzerland lineup who we think should score & stay on top.
That’s why our selection here is for a narrow 1-0 winning margin for Switzerland when the full-time whistle blows.
We’re expecting it to be that close.
