Switzerland take on the visitors Czech Republic in the round 6 match of UEFA Nations League (League A). The match will be played on Tuesday, September 27th at Kybunpark (St. Gallen).
Switzerland played for a long time under Vladimir Petkovic - and did it successfully. Up to last year's Euro, where it was possible not only to fulfill the “mandatory program”, but also to create a sensation by knocking out France - only Spain stopped the “neutrals”, and then in a penalty shootout. After that, the mentor went to fail at Bordeaux, and Murat Yakin was called in his place (you can recall the failure at Spartak Moscow). But he coped with the first goal in a new role perfectly, winning a dispute against Italy, the newly-baked European champion, for 1st place in the qualification group. But then there was an unpleasant period in the first half of 2022, when they could not win in friendly matches, and in the Nations League they started with 3 defeats. And only after that there was a minimal victory over Portugal. And then, in the last round, they sensationally beat Spain.

Czech are quite stable in the continental championships. But at the same time, it also constantly “flies” past the world championships. This has been the case in recent years as well. On the one hand, Patrick Schick and company had a successful last year's Euro: they left the group, knocked out the Netherlands and lost to Denmark only in the quarterfinals. On the other hand, the fight for a trip to the World Cup ended in defeat in the first round of the playoffs: Sweden put the squeeze on Czech at home in extra time. The wards of Yaroslav Shilgava did not perform well in the summer. At home, they were not bad: they won against Switzerland and missed the victory only in the very ending with Spain. But trips to Lisbon and Zaragoza ended in June with defeats without much chance, 0-2. Moreover, Portugal also defeated at home with a humiliating score: 0-4!
Switzerland won the very first head-to-head - in 1994, when the Czech Republic had just split from Slovakia. But after that, they invariably suffered defeats. Bookmakers believe that Switzerland will win at home over demoralized opponents. But it is enough for pragmatic "neutrals" not to lose. We recommend betting on the fact that in this meeting there will be “less than 2.5 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
