Switzerland vs Ecuador Betting Tips and Predictions Today

Switzerland vs Ecuador betting tips and predictions for today’s World Cup match with expert football betting tips.

Switzerland will be looking to continue to justify their World Cup seeding and new FIFA ranking of 6th when they take on South Americans Ecuador in the opening game of Group E in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Ecuador are coming off the back of a very creditable 2-2 draw with England in a friendly in Miami.

A Switzerland victory is best-priced 6/4 with Stan James, a draw between the two sides is 21/10 with most bookmakers, and an Ecuador win is 12/5 with Coral.

The Swiss go into their group as the top seeds, but face some stiff competition for top spot in Group E from 1998 World Cup winners France. Ecuador showed against England that they are no pushovers while the 4th team Honduras will look to cause a few upsets. Switzerland need to win this opening game and I expect they will but Ecuador will likely fight to the final whistle. A Swiss victory and both teams to score is 11/2, my first football betting tip.

The biggest problem Switzerland faced in qualifying was a lack of goal scorers. None of their strikers stand out as prolific goals corers, but the emergence of young Josip Drmic might change that and he is the focus of our first Switzerland v Ecuador betting tip. He was one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga this season, bagging 17 goals for relegated Nurnberg. He already has a better record at international level than his countrymen, scoring 3 in 7. Drmic looks a decent bet to be first goalscorer in this match at 6/1.

Ecuador's main strength is their pacey attack down the wings and it showed in their pre-World Cup warm-up game against England. It was central midfielder Michael Arroyo who stole the show however, with an absolute rocket of a shot from 25 yards out to equalise for Ecuador. He's not prolific at international level but with a foot like a traction engine he could be worth a shout at 7/2 to score anytime in this game.
