Switzerland vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Predictions

Switzerland huffed and puffed but only blew the Qatar door down once and then the Maroons struck a last-gasp equaliser to earn a point in the opening Group B contest. 

Elsewhere, Canada battered at the Bosnia and Herzegovina goal  to equalise, but the Reds could not find a winner in another 1-1 stalemate. 

Those results leave the four Group B teams level on one point and that sets up an intriguing contest between Switzerland and Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Los Angeles Stadium. 

Switzerland created an expected goals figure of 3.28 and hit 26 shots against Qatar, and while the Maroons are one of the weakest teams at the World Cup, Bosnia and Herzegovina aren’t much of an upgrade. 

The Dragons conceded 30 shots in their 1-1 draw with Canada and it was all-out defensive action from Sergej Barbarez’s men.

The concern for backing Switzerland at a short price is that the A-Team lacks a cutting edge. 

Cheesed off Swiss unlikely to make the same mistake

Breel Embolo fired Switzerland ahead from the penalty spot, but the 29-year-old looked all at sea in front of goal and that is a worry. 

Johan Manzambi should be handed a start by manager Murat Yakin, with the 20-year-old midfielder Switzerland’s best player when he was introduced in the 65th minute against Qatar. 

At the prices, Switzerland can be fancied to make up for their opening group-stage contest mistake.
