Switzerland vs. Portugal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Switzerland vs. Portugal odds and lines, with UEFA Nations League picks and predictions.

Switzerland (0 wins, 3 losses, 0 draws) welcomes Portland (2-0-1) to Stade de Genève in Geneva, Switzerland Sunday. Kickoff for the 4th of 6 group stage games is set for 2:45 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Switzerland vs. Portugal odds and lines, and make our best UEFA Nations League bets, picks and predictions.

The 2 global soccer powerhouses will highlight just a handful of premier games in this round of the group stage.

While Switzerland was among those teams in Pot 2 for the 2022 World Cup draw, they’ve struggled immensely in a group that also has Spain and the Czech Republic. Switzerland sits 14th in the world per FIFA men’s rankings.

Portugal comes in ranked 8th, led by Manchester United star F Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted 2 goals as Portugal beat Switzerland 4-0 at home on June 5.

The Ronaldo-led side is sitting atop League A Group 2 with 7 goals for and 1 goal against in 3 games. They drew Spain 1-1 and blanked the Czech Republic 2-0.

Prediction

Portugal 2, Switzerland 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN PORTUGAL (+115).

It might be a relatively easy prediction, but Portugal has looked too good to bet against here. While Ronaldo is important, their team is far from just a one-man show.

They have an experienced backline led by D Pepe, who has 127 caps. Both Ronaldo on the attack and M João Moutinho have 3 digits worth of caps as well.

They also have an up-and-coming star F in 25-year-old Liverpool F Diogo Jota. Combine it all, and it’s a roster one wouldn’t want to bet against.

Also, Switzerland has looked awful so far in the nations league, allowing 7 goals and scoring just 1. They have an aging midfield with 30-year-old M Xherdan Shaqiri and 29-year-old Granit Xhaka.

The home-field advantage helps bring the value for Portugal, and I’ll take that.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-110).

Both sides have played in 3 games so far in the nations league and those games have totaled 8 goals each, so they’re hovering around a 3-goal per-game average.

Portugal has won 4-0 against Switzerland already and has 17 shots on goal through their 3 games.

As for Switzerland, while they haven’t scored, they did have 7 shots on goal against the Czech Republic yet just 1 goal. They’ve gone over 2.5 goals in 2 of 3 games.

Given Portugal’s dominant attackers, I’ll take the over in this battle.

Euro 2020: Switzerland vs. Spain odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Switzerland vs. Spain odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

In the first quarterfinals match of Euro 2020, Spain takes on Switzerland Friday in St. Petersburg, Russia. Kickoff will be at noon ET. Below, we preview the Switzerland vs. Spain odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

With Germany out, Spain is the most experienced team still remaining.

After going up 3-1 on Croatia in the Round of 16 and maintaining that lead until the 85th minute, Spain looked well-positioned to coast into the quarterfinals. After giving up 2 goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation, Spain scored twice in extra time to advance.

Spain’s Group Stage matches didn’t show much as it drew two and crushed Slovakia 5-0.

The Swiss were 1-1-1 in their Group Stage and knocked off an uncharacteristically sluggish French side on penalties in the Round of 16. Despite that, Switzerland still enters as a heavy underdog.

Prediction

Spain 2, Switzerland 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line as Spain is just far too pricey.

Look at what Switzerland did to France, despite being the underdog. While I think Spain will manage to get through, the value is on Switzerland (+475). It’s 13th in the FIFA world rankings.

If the Swiss are going to do anything it must be Liverpool’s attacking midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri getting the job done. They were more than doubled up in shots in the Round of 16, and if you replay Swiss-France, the result is probably different.

While the draw or Switzerland win seemingly offer good odds, they’re even a bit risky. The best bet in this area is for SWITZERLAND TO ADVANCE (+250).

While Spain is the more talented side and should be predicted to win, the underdog won three of the eight games in the Round of 16.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 2.5 (-110) as the best value in this match. Both teams absolutely crushed the total in their Round of 16 matches and the offensive firepower is there.

The real reason to bet the Over is that Spain is clearly hitting its stride offensively with 10 goals in the last two games.

It’s not just one superstar either. In both games, five different players scored for Spain.

That said, Switzerland put up 3 goals on a solid French defense and also averaged over a goal per game in the Group Stage.

I expect at least 1 in the back of the net for Switzerland and at least 2 from Spain. This is the best bet of the match.

Euro 2020: France vs. Switzerland odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Monday’s France vs. Switzerland odds and lines, with UEFA EURO 2020 picks, tips, predictions and best bets.

In the sixth game of the Round of 16, favorite France takes on Switzerland Monday. The game will kick off at 3 p.m. ET at Arena Națională in Bucharest, Romania. Below, we preview the France vs. Switzerland odds and lines and make our best Euro 2020 bets, picks and predictions.

After winning the World Cup in Russia in 2018, France is looking for another win on the international stage. Previous Euro winner, Portugal, was knocked out of Euro 2020 Sunday.

France is the second-best national team, according to the FIFA World Rankings. However, this will be no cakewalk with 13th-ranked Switzerland on the other side. The Swiss finished third in Group A after tying Wales 1-1, beating Turkey 3-1 and losing 3-0 to Italy in the group stage.

Prediction

France 2, Switzerland 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to FRANCE (-175) as Switzerland hasn’t looked as good as expected.

France MFs Paul Pogba an Kante will hold down the middle while the favorite hopes to get Fs Antoine Griezmann and Kylian Mbappe going. The firepower is just not matched.

The Swiss will really need a good game from winger Xherdan Shaqiri to have any hope at taking this to overtime. Switzerland has the pace, and France hasn’t looked overly dominant.

At the end of the day, the French are the better side. The value isn’t great, but it’s good enough to put half a unit on them to win in regulation.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+115) as the French defense hasn’t been as dominant as anticipated.

France allowed 3 goals and scored 4 of its own in the group stage. In a tough group, those are relatively timid numbers. Switzerland scored 4 and gave up 5 through its first three games.

Neither team has shown much so far, and that should be expected to change as both are top-15 teams in the world. France has two of the world’s best attackers, and Switzerland is coming off a three-goal performance.

The only time Switzerland didn’t score was against a dominant Italian defense. Expect Switzerland to get one and France to still win. It’s a gamble, but the value is in the Over.
