Belarus take on the visitors Switzerland in the round 1 match of UEFA Euro 2024 qualification. The match will be played on Saturday, March 25th at Stadion Karađorđe (Novi Sad).
First, it should be clarified that Belarus will be playing its home games in Serbia. Although, what difference does it make, if nobody goes to football games in Belarus anyway, and there would be no local support from the stands, both in Minsk and in some Serbian city. The national team is actively deteriorating, and the teams that are still able to beat Belarusians look increasingly exotic... In 2022, Belarus beat India, Bahrain, and Serie. There is no talk about them beating anyone from Europe... Belarus has nothing to catch against the powerful Swiss, and if they can bounce back here after losing by only a couple of goals - that will already be a success for them. That is why the bookmakers' odds, which make such a spread (1.2) against (15), look absolutely logical.

Switzerland have already moved from the level of decent mid-table teams to the level of a truly big team. The current qualifying group for the "Crusaders" looks quite easy and simple, besides Belarus, they will also face such opponents as Kosovo, Romania, Israel, and Andorra. Well, let's be frank, the Alpine team can expect a fairly leisurely qualification. As for the upcoming match, it cannot be said that the Swiss team is a master of big wins, but they are capable of periodically crushing modest opponents. So, in this match, you can consider a bet with a negative handicap on the guests, it is quite realistic that this option will pass.
The coefficient for a clean victory of the nominal guests is very modest. So, you can consider a negative handicap option for them. Taking into account that Belarus has big problems with attacking, they will probably end up with a dry spell here, and the negative handicap on the Alpine team will easily pass. I stop my choice on the option of betting: Handicap (-1.5) on Switzerland.
Prediction for the match: Switzerland to win with -1.5 handicap.
