Football – Europe – World Cup Qualifier Betting Tips
Onto Group B, and next up is a crucial clash between hosts Portugal and visitors Switzerland with both teams vying for top spot in the group, and an automatic place in next year’s World Cup finals in Russia for the winners.
The Estádio Nacional is the venue for Portugal where this match represents a ‘must win’ game for the current European Championship holders, and although they’ll be level with group leaders Switzerland if they win tonight, the hosts’ superior goal difference would see them through.
Portugal hold a 100% winning record at home with an impressive record of 4-0-0 18/2, and they’ve won their last eight World Cup qualifiers on the trot. In addition, Portugal have scored a total of 30 goals and conceded just 2 goals in reply in this sequence. Ronaldo (15 goals) and Silva (8 goals) are the main threats up front for the home side.
Visitors Switzerland currently hold top spot in Group B with a three point advantage over their hosts ahead of tonight’s crucial encounter in Oeiras, but they’ll face their biggest test yet in these group stages as they look to avoid defeat to a rampant Portuguese outfit.
The Swiss appear to be in great shape though as they prepare for this important final group match as they too possess a 100% record away from home with stats of 4-0-0 10/3 which includes wins over Hungary, Andorra, Faroe Islands and Latvia.
Indeed, Switzerland have won their last six away matches on the trot in World Cup qualifiers, and have now gone 14 matches without defeat on their travels.
But when it comes to the crunch, big stage players such as Ronaldo step up, and I’m expecting Portugal to take the spoils here this evening as a result.
