Belarus vs Switzerland Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro

Prediction published on 23/03/2023, 22:30  by Daniel Ngulu in Euro Predictions

Switzerland will be back in action for the first time since their 6-1 loss to Portugal at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. They are set to travel to Belarus for their opening game of the Euro 2024 qualification in Group I. Hosts Belarus will hope to start well in these qualifiers, having managed just one win in their last eight matches. In 13 competitive matches, Belarus have no win. It is close to two years now since they last won a competitive game – the 4-2 win over Estonia in a World Cup qualifier. Coming into this game, their only win in eight games was against Syria in a friendly match. They have conceded twice in three of the last five matches and failed to score in two of the five games. In European Championship qualifiers, Belarus have three straight losses and are without a win in the last four. At home, in the qualifiers, they have no win in five and have failed to score in four.

This is not a game that should trouble Switzerland, with their quality; in the three previous meetings with Belarus, Switzerland have posted straight wins. They come into this game having had a dismal showing at the World Cup, but this should be a manageable challenge. The Swiss have two wins in their last five matches and one clean sheet only, while having failed to score in two of the five games. When it comes to the European Championship qualifiers, Switzerland are doing well, having lost just one of their last 10. In a run of 10 matches in the qualifiers, they have seven wins and they’ve managed three clean sheets in the last five. A 1-0 loss to Denmark stands as their only away defeat in the last five qualification matches for the European Championship.
