Switzerland are staring at elimination from League A for the first time ever in the Nations League era. In Group A4. they will be hosting Denmark in a match that has far-reaching implications as regards their League A future. Let’s look at the prediction of the match.
Three matches and three losses – that’s how Switzerland’s column reads in this group. They are coming from a 2-0 away loss in Serbia, leaving them with one win in seven matches.
Should they lose here, Switzerland will be out of contention for the quarter-finals. It doesn’t look very promising anyway, as they have only four wins in 17 Nations League matches.
Denmark will also be coming into this game straight from defeat. Their three-match winning run came to an end in Spain, as they fell to Martin Zubimendi’s late strike.
That was their first away match in four in the Nations League. They have now suffered two straight away defeats in the competition.
However, unlike the Swiss, Denmark’s fate as far as qualifying for the quarter-finals is concerned remains in their hands. A win here will be a massive step towards realizing that and the Danes should be confident based on their run against Switzerland.
Their only loss to Switzerland dates 40 years back. Denmark have nine wins in their last 13 Nations League matches.
Denmark may be playing this game away from home but they will be the favorites, based on their recent form. The loss to Spain was more of a stumble as the Danes held their own against the European champions.
They should come good against a team they’ve dominated and one that’s also struggling in the competition. Switzerland won this fixture long ago and have already suffered defeat in it this season. Our prediction for Switzerland v Denmark is for Denmark to win.
