Albania v Switzerland Predictions & Betting Odds – Euro 2016

Swiss to edge Albania in low scoring affair

Switzerland v Albania Euro 2016

Albania v Switzerland Betting Preview – Euro 2016, 11th June

Albania don’t look as if they have a lot to offer going forward and they kick off the tournament as the rank outsiders to win it and heavy favourites to finish bottom of Group A. Switzerland, experienced at the Euros will be looking to open with a win and they may want to try and put some goals on the board here for the goal difference factor when it comes to battling with France for top spot in the group. This should be a routine victory for the Swiss, but they may have to be patient in making their breakthrough.

Albania v Switzerland Betting Tips

It will be somewhat interesting to see what Albania can produce at Euro 2016, because they are the rank outsiders for the whole event. Albania got to the Finals by finishing second in their group behind Portugal in Group I. Interestingly three of their four wins were away from home, taking a victory in Serbia, Armenia and in Portugal. The win in Serbia was awarded to them (as a 3-0 win) after that whole incident with the drone flying an Albanian flag and the home fans not taking too kindly to it invading the pitch and attacking Albania’s players. So realistically you aren’t expecting Albania to go out and really beat anyone in Group A because they look very lightweight in the final third of the pitch and may fail to much much of an impression in their Finals debut.

Switzerland finished second behind England in their qualifying group, taking five clean sheets along the way, so it could be worth having a flutter on the Swiss to win to nil in this one at a price of 6/4 with online betting site Boylesports. Switzerland, with their experience of reaching three of the last four European Championships, should be winning this game and they have beaten Albania in their last three meetings. Overall they have gone unbeaten in six previous clashes with them. Not only that, they have scored at least two goals in each of their last three games against Albania. Either way, this fixture is likely to go under 2.5 goals, very likely actually and that can be taken at a quote of 4/9 with Boylesports.

So all that then could lead you down the path to the Albania v Switzerland Correct Score market where you can take a price of a Switzerland 2-0 win at 6/1 while a Switzerland 1-0 correct score will return odds of 4/1. They are good options. Switzerland aren’t exactly running along in great form at the moment really because they have lost three of their last four and across those four games managed just the three goals in total. Ireland and Belgium have both beaten them recent and so that would hint that their margin of victory over Albania is going to be low. Switzerland have Haris Seferovic at 2/1 favourite in the anytime goalscorer and as they were comfortable enough in qualifying against the likes of Estonia, the Swiss should get the win on the board.

Albania v Switzerland Predictions

Hard to expect this to be a very pretty game to watch. Albania are likely going to do nothing much more than sit back for most of the game and the Swiss don’t exude a lot of confidence to back them to go out and stick a few goals on the board. The best option is to back a win for the Swiss in a low scoring game. That 1-0 correct score has big appeal.
