On the other hand, Switzerland have strung together an eight-match unbeaten run across all competitions, keeping clean sheets in each of their last five games.

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Due to their disappointing run in these FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Sweden parted ways with Jon Dahl Tomasson, bringing in former Chelsea and West Ham United coach Graham Potter as his replacement.
The visitors have earned only one point from four qualifying games, and with only two matches remaining, they have been eliminated from contention.
On the other hand, Switzerland have had a near-perfect record so far, earning 10 points from a possible 12 without conceding a single goal. They could potentially secure an automatic spot in the next FIFA World Cup by winning this game, although that would depend on the outcome of Slovenia's encounter with Kosovo.
That said, Murat Yakin’s troops have already been guaranteed a top-two spot, even if they lose their two remaining games.
Considering their fine form, it is no surprise that Switzerland are the expected winners at 4/7 (1.57). Teams with these odds usually have a 63.6% probability of winning.

Switzerland preview: Eyeing their sixth consecutive FIFA World Cup berth
A broken collarbone injury to Remo Freuler means Djibril Sow is expected to start alongside Granit Xhaka and Fabian Rieder in Murat Yakin’s three-man midfield, even as Dan Ndoye, Breel Embolo, and Ruben Vargas, the impressive regulars in the final third, each retain their positions for this game.
Predicted lineup: Kobel (GK), Rodriguez, Akanji, Elvedi, Widmer, Xhaka, Rieder, Sow, Ndoye, Embolo, Vargas.
Last five matches

Sweden preview: Can coaching change improve their fortunes?
As for Sweden, who have been very disappointing in these FIFA World Cup qualifiers, both Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres are unavailable due to injury.
Despite the team's bad showings so far, Newcastle United’s Anthony Elanga and Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren can look to make a statement in the final third, given the chance.
Predicted lineup: Johansson (GK), Gudmundsson, Lindelof, Hien, Lagerbielke, Bernhardsson, Svensson, Ayari, Karlstrom, Elanga & Nygren.
Last five matches
- Sweden 0-1 Kosovo
- Sweden 0-2 Switzerland
- Kosovo 2-0 Sweden
- Slovenia 2-2 Sweden
- Sweden 4-3 Algeria
Player to watch: Breel Embolo
Breel Embolo is Switzerland's top scorer in these qualifiers, finding the net three times in four appearances. The Stade Rennais forward scored his team's only goal in their victory against Paris FC just before the international break and will fancy his chances against an out-of-form Sweden.
