Swiss to remain on a roll
Our first tip for this game sees us backing Switzerland to win, which means the Czech Republic will be heading for that relegation spot. Switzerland might still be in danger of finishing rank last but with back to back wins recorded over Portugal and then Spain they will arrive into this game with plenty of confidence. Contrast that to a Czech Republic side that have are winless in four having lost each of their last three and the moods around each camp couldn't be much different.
Anticipating goals
Our next prediction for this match is that it will go over 2.5 total goals. Switzerland have gone over that threshold in three of their last five games. Czech Republic meanwhile have also gone north of the 2.5 cut off in three of their past five – that means both have seen 60% of their last five games hit the three goal mark. Four of the last five head to head meetings between the nations have also broken that 2.5 threshold. With all that considered a low scoring game feels unlikely, doesn't it?

Can Switzerland make it three wins on the spin?
Things are still wide open in this group with Switzerland and Czech Republic both still in danger of finishing bottom. If the Swiss can avoid defeat then they know they'll be safe from that relegation spot, however, a Czech Republic win would see them leapfrog their hosts and confirm their safety. It is all to play for.
Switzerland rose their luck at times in their recent match up with Spain but nonetheless they came away with maximum points. That sort of result is noteworthy for the Swiss and an unchanged lineup is quite plausible. If we were picking out one player to watch, we'd suggest keeping an eye on Breel Embolo.
Switzerland Predicted lineup – Sommer, Widmer, Akanji, Elvedi, Rodriguez, Xhaka, Freuler, Sow, Vargas, Shaqiri, Embolo
Czech Republic were cut to pieces by Portugal in their last outing with that result largely summing up their Nations League campaign as they sit rock bottom. A change to the backline isn't impossible whilst Tomas Soucek's presence in the middle of the park is always a big influence on how the Czech's perform.
Czech Republic Predicted lineup – Vaclik, Zima, Jemelka, Kudela, Coufal, Soucek, Karl, Zeleny, Barak, Hzolek, Schick
