On Saturday, 8 June, a Friendly football match will take place between the national teams of Switzerland and Austria.
The hosts are exhibiting excellent academic football, seldom pushing the pace unless absolutely necessary. In their last friendly match, they convincingly defeated Estonia (4-0), showcasing their prowess. Prior to that, they secured an away victory against Ireland, albeit less convincingly (1-0). Switzerland boasts a solid squad, poised to at least reach the Euro Round of 16.
Under the leadership of Ralf Rangnick, Austria is performing brilliantly. In their last fifteen matches, they have only been defeated by Belgium (2-3) in a closely contested battle. Currently, Austria is on a six-win streak, overcoming teams like Serbia (2-1), Turkey (6-1), Slovakia (2-0), Germany (2-0), Estonia (2-0), and Azerbaijan (1-0). Overall, the team has been pleasantly surprising lately, boasting a combat-ready lineup despite the absence of David Alaba.
The last encounter between these teams took place in 2015, with Switzerland emerging victorious (2-1).
Both teams are evidently well-matched, promising a tense and closely fought contest. I predict both teams to score – yes, at 1.87, and for the result, I'd consider a draw.
