Sweden vs Switzerland

Sweden will be aiming to snap out of a recent stumble when they host Switzerland in Group B of the UEFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Swedes are seeking their first win in the campaign and face a Swiss side keen to maintain a perfect start. Both teams should be fired up for this one, and Friday's clash is likely to produce goals.

Sweden News

It has been a poor start to the qualifiers for Sweden, who are yet to secure a win after two matches. Jon Dahl Tomasson’s team began with a 2-2 draw with Slovenia before suffering a 2-0 away defeat to Kosovo.

While it has been disappointing so far, the positive for Sweden is that both matches have come on the road as they head to their own turf for Friday's clash. They are usually solid in front of their fans and have won nine of their last 10 home matches across all competitions.

The goals usually flow freely for Sweden on home soil, having scored first in six of their last seven matches in front of their fans. Their last six home matches have produced over 2.5 goals while they are without a clean sheet in three of the last four fixtures on this run.

Switzerland News

In contrast to Sweden’s early struggles, Switzerland are enjoying a fine start to the qualifying campaign. They have won their opening two matches, earning a 4-0 victory over Kosovo before beating Slovenia 3-0 last time out.

While both results have come at home, Switzerland have also won their last two away matches. However, those wins were in friendly matches as Murat Yakin's team have lost their last three competitive fixtures on their travels.

Seven goals across their opening matches highlights Switzerland’s attacking quality, as six of their last seven fixtures across all competitions have also produced over 2.5 goals. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six away matches across all competitions.

Head to Head

Sweden have six wins while Switzerland have picked up four victories, with three draws from 13 previous matches. The Swedes earned a 1-0 home victory in the last meeting during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Verdict

Sweden v Switzerland

Both sides come into this clash needing a result, with Sweden seeking their first win while Switzerland are aiming to stay perfect. A thrilling contest could be on the cards, and given the attacking quality on display, both teams are expected to score here.

Sweden have opened the scoring in six of their last seven home matches and could be backed to grab the first goal here. With their last six home matches also producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome could be considered here.
