Switzerland vs Belgium Betting Tips and Predictions

Switzerland host Belgium in this friendly before Euro 2016 kicks off with kick off scheduled for 15:15 Saturday afternoon.

 

As both teams are completing their final preparations for the big competition in the summer they have arranged a friendly fixture here allowing the coaches to make some final decisions and to give the players a chance to work on some training ground routines.

 

Switzerland vs Belgium Predictions

 

Switzerland are heading into the Euros in group A alongside the hosts in France, Albania and Romania. They will fancy their chances at progressing past the group stages and now they have a chance to practice as a team to help get confidence high. Their previous four games have all been friendlies and they have only won one of them, their last two games would of been games they expected to get results from against Republic of Ireland and Bosnia-Herzegovina. They do have quality in their ranks with Shaqiri, Behrami and Xhaka as most the most notable names who will try to punish Belgium in this game.

 

Belgium are a team who for the last four years’ people have been expecting a lot from, their squad is full of young talent who have yet to really impress us or do as much as people have expected. They are part of group E alongside Italy, Republic of Ireland and Sweden and are more than capable or winning the group overall. Coming in to this game they lost only two from their last ten games which is very impressive, is this team finally starting to gel? They have quality in pretty much every position so naming they would would mean I may as well name the whole squad. They definitely have the quality to punish Switzerland and make sure they enter the Euros on a high.

 

The bookies are quite generous with their odds in this game as they can’t quite pick a winner from these two sides, Switzerland are in poor form of late and need to improve now to go in to the summer high on confidence. Belgium possess a lot more talent and are already in good form coming in to this game and I feel that the midfield and attacking options of Belgium will be a little too much. Although they are missing Kompany in their defence I don't think they will be under too much pressure My first Switzerland vs Belgium prediction is Belgium to win at 7/5 with Ladbrokes.

The most chosen final scoreline by punters so far is 0-0, which suggests many of you are expecting a dull game. I can understand where this is coming from with the teams possibly experimenting and not wanting to give too much and risk an injury. I would expect both teams to start off slow and cautious and build in to the game possibly nicking a winner late on. I am going with the punters on this one and following your choice of a boring game and my second Switzerland vs Belgium betting tip is draw at half time at 21/20 with Bet365.

Belgium have four men to pick from up front in Benteke, Lukaku, Batsuayi and Origi. Depending who the gaffer picks is difficult to pick from at the minute as all strikers offer different things. Lukaku and Benteke have been out of form recently which makes me question whether they will get to start, although getting some minutes under their belt for their country may give them time to get back into a goalscoring streak. Divock Origi has been tremendous under Klopp at Liverpool only to suffer a terrible injury right at the end of the season. He worked hard and managed to get back on the pitch for the Europa League final against everyone’s expectations and this only good news for the Belgium fans as they will hope he can continue his great form he had for his club. I would only put this on if he starts as if he comes on as a sub he will only get a little bit of game time, so my third Switzerland vs Belgium betting tip is Divock Origi to score anytime at 31/10 with 888Sport.
