Switzerland hosts Croatia in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 7th at St. Jakob-Park (Basel)
Petkovic's Switzerland is a quite coordinated team that uses minimal rotation, which is why it has been successfully qualifying for all European tournaments with this coach. Shaqiri recovered for the upcoming match. He again began to score for Liverpool, so the national team's attacking potential will significantly increase. I would like to note that the Swiss team looked good in the attack a month ago. It tied with Germany (1-1) and lost to Ukraine (1-20. But if everything is fine in the attack, then the defense is not very good.

The Croats are in the same situation, but the coach of the Checkered Ones uses rotation even more actively. Truth be told, this did not help Dalic’s men to show a good start in the top division of the Nations League. Away defeats to France (2:4) and Portugal (1:4) were totally deserved - the Croatian team looked tired and very unbalanced. In general, the Croats are very similar to the Swiss in terms of game style.
It is worth noting that the teams played their last head-to-head match before the 2014 World Cup, where both teams successfully got. They tied with a 2-2 score, but a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then. Not only the statistics of that match but also several other factors are in favor of “Both teams to score – yes”. Both teams play offensive football, so we'll probably see a bunch of goal attempts. And their defensive lines cannot be called reliable, so the bet on the exchange of goals scored looks quite logical.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
