Switzerland takes on the visitors Hungary at “St. Jakob-Park” in the matchday nine of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Basel on Saturday, October 7th.
Switzerland A-team has not been beaten in regular time since the 28th of May 2016 across 14 consecutive encounters resulting in 11 victories and three draws. The winning run of “La Nati” consists of nine clashes with 19:3 aggregated score and has been lasting since the 6th of September 2016. The Swiss have not conceded a goal for 540 minutes of football already. As a result, “La Nati” take the lead in Group B with 100% result – 24 points earned with 18-3 goal difference in eight qualification matches being three points ahead of the Portuguese who are the reigning European champions. Switzerland picked up 12 points with 8-0 goal difference in four home battles.

Having qualified to the UEFA EURO 2016 and showed solid performance there, the Hungarians have already achieved the overwhelming results. Concerning the current campaign, “The Magyars” completely failed, having lost five out of six latest clashes. However, despite the inconsistent play, Hungary occupies the third place in it with 10 points earned and 11-9 goal difference contending for nothing at this Preliminary Stage due to the weakness of Group B participants. “The Magyars” took four points with two goals for and four goals against in four encounters at away turfs.
Last time Hungary managed to beat Switzerland got back to 1981. Hereinafter, the rivals met five times resulting in two draws and three triumphs of “La Nati”, including 3:2 victory on the road in the first lap. I don’t believe that the opponents will combine a number of goals on Saturday as the teams’ attacking capability is not too impressive while the hosts also concede goals rarely.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
