PREDICTION Switzerland vs Sweden
Switzerland one step from the World Cup – Sweden fighting for survival
Switzerland close to qualification
Switzerland are having a near-perfect qualifying campaign. With three wins and one draw, they have two chances to secure their spot at the next World Cup. They sit three points above Kosovo before their final head-to-head match.
The Swiss have been unbeatable at the back — not a single goal conceded in qualification. They also have a strong home record: only one defeat at home since June 2022.
Sweden running out of time
Sweden’s campaign has been a disaster. One point from four matches leaves them in serious danger of missing the World Cup for the fourth time in the last five attempts. They have never gone through qualifying without a win — losing here would push them to the edge.
Their away form is worrying: only three wins in their last 11 away matches.
Head-to-head
Switzerland won the first meeting 2–0, ending a run of four games without a win against Sweden. Historically, it’s perfectly balanced: 11 wins each, plus seven draws.
Key stats
- In 9 of Switzerland’s last 10 matches, halftime and fulltime results were the same.
- Switzerland’s last six home qualifiers produced at least three goals in five of them.
- Only 4 of Sweden’s last 11 away games saw both teams score.
- In Sweden’s last seven away matches, only once was the first goal scored before the 20th minute.
Players to watch
Breel Embolo (Switzerland): all three of his qualification goals were scored at home — all in the first half.
Anthony Elanga (Sweden): four of his five international goals were either the opener or the final goal of a match.
Team news
Switzerland are without Remo Freuler and Ardon Jashari, and Noah Okafor was left out of the squad.
Sweden miss Arsenal striker Viktor Gyökeres due to injury.
Prediction
Switzerland are too strong defensively and too consistent at home. Sweden are struggling badly.Prediction: Switzerland 2–0 Sweden
