Today's Free Betting Tips for Czech Republic vs Switzerland
The Nations League gets underway this week and for the Czech Republic and Switzerland, only a win will be deemed a good result as their group consists of Spain and Portugal. A draw would probably be a bad result for both teams come the final group rankings as taking points off the likes of Spain and Portugal will surely be tricky, so taking maximum points from their games against one another will be key, starting with Thursday's clash at the Sinobo Stadium, Prague.

Switzerland to Win
Switzerland might have only won one of their four previous games against Czech Republic but the visitors have the better of the two squads on paper and aren't missing any of their attacking players, unlike their hosts who will be without Patrik Schick this Thursday. Switzerland impressed at Euro 2020 and have picked up three wins from their last six international matches, including big wins against Bulgaria and Lithuania.
Over 2.5 Goals
At least three goals have been scored in three of the previous four meetings between these two countries, and we're predicting at least three goals to be scored in the Czech Republic this week. Three of the host's and three of the visitor's last six outings in all competitions have also produced over 2.5 goals, adding further weight to our prediction.

A draw doesn't do either side much good in what is set to be a tough group
Last time out, Czech Republic took on Wales in Cardiff where a goal from Soucek in the 32nd-minute put the visitors in front. However, Wales responded really well and got back onto level terms moments after going behind and the pair went in level at the interval. The second half was even tighter and failed to produce any more goals so the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Czech Republic Predicted Lineup: Staněk, Brabec, Zelený, Petrášek, Zima, Coufal, Souček, Pešek, Lingr, Sadílek & Kuchta
Switzerland played host to Kosovo in a friendly for their last game. The first half failed to produce any goal but early in the second, Rashica fired Kosovo in front. Switzerland needed a response and they got it via Lotomba just after the hour mark after good work from Mbabu who claimed the assist. Both teams made a lot of changes during the second forty-five and that disrupted the flow of the game somewhat and saw the scoreline end 1-1.
Switzerland Predicted Lineup: Sommer, Mbabu, Elvedi, Cömert, Lotomba, Zuber, Shaqiri, Xhaka, Sow, Okafor & Gavranović
