Denmark will be looking to do the double over Switzerland when they travel to Kybunpark for a Group A4 clash in the UEFA Nations League. The Swiss have been completely out of sorts in the competition and should struggle against a confident Denmark side.
It has been an abysmal Nations League campaign for Switzerland, who have been way below their best so far. They have lost all three of their matches and are looking like prime relegation candidates.
Switzerland were once again far from their best last time out as they were beaten 2-0 in Serbia. Murat Yakin’s men saw plenty of possession but were wasteful in attack, failing to convert multiple scoring opportunities.
Denmark are also coming off a defeat as they were beaten 1-0 by Spain last time out in the Nations League. They kept their discipline and held their own for much of the contest but were eventually undone late in the second half.
That was the first defeat for Denmark in the competition having begun their campaign with two straight wins. An impressive aspect of Morten Wieghorst’s team is their defensive discipline as they have kept clean sheets in two of their three matches.
How the bookies view it: Switzerland still fancied
Despite their poor showings, Switzerland are still considered favourites among the bookies at 7/5 with Betfred. A victory for Denmark is valued at 21/10 while Betfred is also offering odds of 21/10 for a draw.
Head to head: Denmark on top
Denmark have a 3-1 advantage with four draws from eight previous matches against Switzerland. The Danes claimed a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in September.
Players to watch: Focus on Poulsen
Yussuf Poulsen often impresses whenever he is called upon and was on target in his last start for Denmark. The forward could be worth keeping an eye on to score anytime at 7/2 with Betfred.
Breel Embolo remains a major attacking threat for Switzerland and will be the one to each on Tuesday. The forward will be keen to rediscover his scoring touch and is priced at 5/2 by Betfred to find the net.
Probable line-ups
Switzerland are likely to make changes to the team as they continue to search for the best set-up. Andi Zeqiri and Fabian Rieder could come into the side after playing off the bench in Serbia while Granit Xhaka should continue in midfield.
Denmark are not expected to make too many changes to their team, with Poulsen likely to be the only alteration as he comes in for Kasper Dolberg in attack. Christian Eriksen should continue in midfield while Jannik Vestergaard is set to retain his place in defence.
Switzerland: Kobel, Elvedi, Akanji, Rodriguez, Rieder, Freuler, Xhaka, Aebischer, Ndoye, Zeqiri, Embolo
Denmark: Schmeichel, Kristensen, Vestergaard, Nelsson, Bah, Hjulmand, Hojbjerg, Kristiansen, Eriksen, Gronbaek, Poulsen
Anything else catch the eye?
There were over 3.5 goals in Switzerland’s previous home fixture and a repeat is priced at 100/30 by Betfred. Over 2.5 goals is valued at 5/4 with Betfred, who is also offering odds of 10/11 on both teams to score.
Switzerland and Denmark have been level at the break in their last three meetings and another halftime draw could be on the cards at evens with Betfred.
