Switzerland hosts Greece in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 1st at St. Jakob-Park (Basel)
Under the management of Vladimir Petkovic, the national team of Switzerland has become, if not a grandee, then definitely something more than an ordinary middle peasant. The team reached the playoffs at Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup. And the Red Crosses managed to stay in the highest division of the Nations League twice (however, last fall the decisive victory over Ukraine was forfeit due to coronavirus). At the summer European Championship, not everything was good in the group, but Switzerland made it to the playoffs and shocked France (the Swiss won back two goals in the last 15 minutes and knocked out the reigning world champions on penalties). Then the Reds let Spain go to the semifinals only because of bad luck (a defeat in the penalty shootout). Now Petkovic works with Bordeaux, and his place was taken by Murat Yakin.

After the 2014 World Cup, where the Greeks made it to the 1/8 finals, they cannot gain promotion to a big tournament. Under the management of John van't Schip, a lot seems to be working out. Since October 2019, the national team of Greece has not lost a single official match. Moreover, there was only one defeat to Austria in a friendly match during this segment of 16 games. On the other hand, in the March qualifying matches, the Greeks, who sensationally gain an away draw against Spain, shared the points with Georgia at home. Now the coaching staff cannot count on Pelkas, Giakoumakis, Fortunis, Bakakis, Kiryakopoulos, Likogiannis, Stafilidis, and Siovas for various reasons. Nevertheless, the roster looks quite combat-ready.
These national teams played eleven head-to-head matches, and Greece won only twice and suffered six defeats. Moreover, Switzerland gained three victories and one draw in the last four games. Of course, this is a friendly match, and the result is not so important. But this is also the debut of a new head coach, and the Swiss will try not to spoil it. We bet on the home team to win.
Prediction for the match: Switzerland to win
