Odds on Switzerland v France – Betting Preview, Euro 2016

French to capitalise on Swiss caution?

Switzerland v France Euro 2016

The Odds on Switzerland v France presents punters with some interesting options. There is an interesting set up for the match and it all hinges really on what approach the Swiss are going to take on it. Three things could happen to Switzerland on the final day of action in Group A at Euro 2016. They can win the group, finish second or end up in third. If they take a win in the game, which would involve them playing a braver game than they normally do, they would top the French in the group.

That would be a massive boost for them going forward. If they settle for a point which is trading at a price of 2/1 in the Odds on Switzerland v France, then that would mean that they secure second spot to move through to the round of sixteen. However, if they blow it and end up losing against the tournament hosts then they would run the risk of slipping down to a third place finish, as long as Romania beat Albania and top the Swiss on goal difference. So how will the Swiss handle this?

They will probably look at the situation and be happy enough with what they have in their pocket, namely settling for the draw to ensure than they comfortably get through to the next round. Given the fact that the Swiss haven’t produced much of an attacking threat in Euro 2106 so far, seeing them overcome the odds of 9/2 on them taking maximum points in Odds on Switzerland v France with online betting site Bet365 doesn’t look overly likely and three of the last four games between these two have indeed ended in a draw.

So you are looking at 8/15 on the game going under 2.5 goals here because France won’t want to go out and suffer a defeat either and lose their grip on top spot. A 1-1 draw in this one is trading at a price of 5/1 with a France 1-0 correct score option at the same price. Two for the last three between these two nations have gone under 2.5 goals. But if you are looking at one of them having the winning edge then it is obviously going to be the French.

France have made progress through the Group so far with late goals in both of their games. There is better to come from Les Bleus and they themselves will know that. But still, winning matches without being on top of your game is a positive thing, as long as you do get better at some point. France have won eleven of their last twelve games and while the majority of those have been friendly matches, it still speaks volumes about their mentality at the end of the day. They are positive by and large and have great options on the bench.

France to win this is a price of 19/20 at online betting site Bet365 and carry a 100% record through to the round of sixteen. That would be a great fillip for momentum and confidence going into the knockout stage of the tournament. The anytime goalscorer market in Odds on Switzerland v France is dominated by the French attack of course, with Olivier Giroud at 7/4 favourite, with a 2/1 quote on Dimitri Payet, Andre-Pierre Gignac and Antoine Griezmann.
