Switzerland vs Georgia Predictions

Switzerland look set for the Euros, despite sitting in third place in their qualifying group. The hosts are a point shy of the top two, while they are coming into this game aiming to bag three points and stay in the hunt. That would be bad news for the Republic of Ireland, who are currently a point ahead of the Swiss after playing a game more. With the Irish dropping points at Georgia last time out, can Switzerland claim a huge victory here?

The hosts aren’t exactly a surprise contender for the Euros, given their brilliant qualifying record over the years. The home side are in great shape as usual, while they are typically short up front. The Swiss have hit 12 goals in six group matches, while they will be aiming to boost that with a victory in this one. Given how tight things are, they can’t afford to drop any points in this one.

Georgia are always a tough side to face, but they don’t always get results. Their only wins so far have come against Gibraltar, while the visitors are struggling with two defeats in their three trips in this game so far. The visitors are also coming here with a brilliant record behind them in the Nations League, already securing a place in the playoffs early next year.

Georgia will certainly need their playoff spot, while Switzerland will look to avoid using theirs. Two wins from their last two games will secure their spot at the Euros, which is to be expected with clashes at home to Georgia and at Gibraltar. That great finish means they look set for the Euros barring an incredible collapse. The Swiss have a fine record at this ground over the years, making them heavy favourites to secure three points in this clash.

Switzerland have won to nil in their last two home games in this group, while they are pushing for another victory here. Given that this Georgia side have scored only once against the group’s top sides, we expect the hosts to keep their defence locked down in this clash. The Swiss have had a strong defence over the years and they are good value for a win to nil this week.

We’re also backing a 2-0 victory for the hosts, given that they’ve averaged two goals per game in this group so far. Georgia have conceded far too many goals in this group, including two against Gibraltar last time out. On top of that, they’ve failed to score in two of their last three games. With the Swiss winning 2-0 in the reverse fixture, we’re confident in a 2-0 victory for the hosts this time around.
