UEFA Nations League action returns this week during the first international break of the 2024/25 season. One of the games that certainly catches our eyes has to be the interesting matchup between Denmark and Switzerland.
Since 1923, these two nations have taken each other on 13 times.
Denmark have the advantage over Switzerland having won 4 of those games to Switzerland’s 2 wins. However the majority of games have ended in draws (7).
In fact Switzerland haven’t beaten Denmark since 1984 with Denmark unbeaten in their last 6 matches against one another.
Will that streak continue in this game?
Denmark have come into this international break with plenty of unavailable players. Matt O’Riley, Maurits Kjaergaard, Andreas Christiansen and Rasmus Hojlund are all out.
Switzerland will also be without Xherdan Shaqiri for the first time following his retirement from International football as well as Fabian Schar who has decided to focus on club football.
Denmark - Kasper Schmeichel, Jannick Vestergaard, Victor Nelsson, Joachim Anderson, Alexander Bah, Morten Hjulmand, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Patrick Dorgu, Christian Eriksen, Andreas Skov Olsen, Jonas Wind.
Switzerland - Gregor Kobel, Manuel Akanji, Nico Elvedi, Ricardo Rodriguez, Dan Ndoye, Granit Xhaka, Remo Freuler, Michel Aebischer, Ruben Vargas, Noah Okafor, Breel Embolo
For the Swiss National Team, Granit Xhaka is a pivotal player. As he so often is for Bayer Leverkusen.
Often controlling the game from the midfield, Xhaka already has 1 assist in the opening 2 matches for Bayer Leverkusen and will be expected to continue in the same manner heading into this international break.
As probably the most crucial player for Switzerland at the moment expect him to have a big impact on this match.
This game is bound to be a close fixture with both sides fairly evenly matched. Expect this game to be a struggle to control with the midfield battle being the most decisive if this game is to go either way.
However with the slides so evenly matched and considering the previous matches between these two teams we can’t help but think this game will end in a draw.
Our team of professional tipping experts have therefore selected a Draw/Draw Half Time/Full Time as our best value tip in this game. And with odds of 15/4, £10 has the potential to return up to £49 in this one.
This game is set to get underway on Thursday 5th September 2024 at 19:45 pm. However it is unfortunately unavailable to watch in the UK.
