Over 2.5 Goals
Switzerland is one of the most highly efficient teams in European football, and plenty of their games see a great number of goals. They beat Belarus three days earlier with a 5-0 scoreline and had the last three official games with more than two goals in the back of the net. Israel, at the same time, is one of the worst teams when it comes to defending their goal. From their last ten games overall they had eight with over 2.5 goals. These teams met four times in their history and two of those matches covered the bet in this Switzerland vs Israel prediction.
Half-Time Switzerland
The home team will be the overwhelming favorite, and little can be taken out of the aforementioned four games from Switzerland vs Israel tie. The last time these teams met each other was during the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign. Overall, all four games dating back to the first duel in 2004 ended with a draw. However, things look a lot different at present, especially from Switzerland's perspective. They have developed into a solid international squad with players that ply their trade in some of Europe's best clubs. That can't be said about Israel which has its strengths but lack in quality. Israel started its Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with a 1-1 draw against Kosovo.

Switzerland vs Israel Lineups, Team News, and Preview
Switzerland
The Swiss qualified for the last two iterations of the European Championships improving on both occasions. They ended their journey a couple of years ago in the quarterfinals stage. Unfortunately for the home team, they will be without AS Monaco striker Breel Embolo who has a knee issue, while Andi Zeqiri is also out due to a health problem.
Potential lineup: Sommer, Rodriguez, Akanji, Elvedi, Widmer, Freuler, Zakaria, Xhaka, Steffen, Vargas, Itten.
Israel
The visiting team never played in a European Championship tournament, and over the years barely managed to stay competitive during the group stage of the qualifying campaign. Little has changed this time around, they already lost their footing by drawing at home against Kosovo. Israel draws its strength from the club scene, there were some positive results in the last few years, but the national team hasn't done the same. There are no major injury issues for manager Alon Hazan.
Potential lineup: Glazer, Leidner, Vitor, Shlomo, Dasa, Peretz, Lavi, Gloukh, Solomon, Weissman, Haziza.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Renato Steffen
Steffen is not one of the most familiar players in the Switzerland squad but deserves a mention this time around after producing the best game of his international career against Belarus. He scored three goals in the first half an hour of play making it to number four in 30 appearances for his country.
