Switzerland will take on Luxembourg in an international friendly on Tuesday, 25 March with both nations looking to build on decent breaks.
The hosts drew 1-1 with Northern Ireland at the weekend while Luxembourg picked up one of their best results in years, defeating Sweden 1-0 in front of their home fans.

Switzerland vs Luxembourg prediction: The visitors to avoid defeat
Key Stats
- Switzerland have won none of their last eight matches.
- Luxembourg have drawn their last two away matches.
- Fewer than three goals have been scored in three of Switzerland's last five matches.
Correct score prediction: Switzerland 1-1 Luxembourg
On a normal week, we would expect Switzerland to win this match relatively comfortably but after Luxembourg's shock 1-0 win over Sweden at the weekend, anything feels possible on Tuesday night. To compound matters, Switzerland are now eight matches without a win so it feels like a perfect storm for the visitors.

- DRAW: 6/1 (7.00) – 14.3%
- AWAY: 12/1 (13.00) – 7.7%

Most recent H2Hs: A first meeting in 14 years
Tuesday night marks the first time that Switzerland and Luxembourg have played each other since 2011 so it is a step into the unknown for the vast majority of both squads. The last time they met was also in an international friendly match with Switzerland winning 1-0. Incidentally, the Swiss have won four of the last five clashes between the two nations.
Switzerland preview: Looking to recapture their Euros form
Switzerland had a brilliant time at Euro 2024 which makes their slump since the end of that tournament surprising. They haven't won a single match since England knocked them out in the knockout stages but will see this match as a golden opportunity to get back on track given the gulf between themselves and Luxembourg in the world rankings.
Predicted lineup: Kobel (GK), Schmidt, Comert, Zesiger, Rodriguez, Sierro, Sow, Ndoye, Aebischer, Vargas, Embolo

Luxembourg preview: Looking for history
Luxembourg have never won two consecutive matches against teams ranked inside the world's top 30 so Tuesday night is a rare opportunity for this team. If they can pull off another win on Tuesday night then this group of players will go down in the nation's folklore, regardless of the fact the two matches were international friendlies.

Player to watch: Breel Embolo
Swiss striker, Breel Embolo isn't having a great season at domestic level with just four goals to his name so far in Ligue 1 with Monaco. The 28-year-old remains a key player for Switzerland regardless of his poor form but he is now 13 matches without a goal so will be desperate to get in behind Luxembourg on Tuesday night.
