Northern Ireland vs Switzerland Tip & Odds, 08.09.2021 – 20:45 – World Cup Qualification Europe
This sports betting forecast deals with the World Cup qualifying match between Northern Ireland and Switzerland. Both teams are still working out chances for a World Cup ticket and will therefore do everything in their power to score points. The Northern Irish enjoy home-ownership on Wednesday from 8:45 pm in Windsor Park. The extent to which this can be used is to be found out in the following.

Northern Ireland last had a break in the course of the World Cup qualification and thus managed to cope with the friendly match against Estonia. After 90 minutes, a narrow 1:0 success jumped out. Previously, however, Lithuania was confidently swept off the pace with 4:1 in the qualifying. The visitors from Northern Ireland got off to a good start and only took 20 minutes to get to the front through Daniel Ballard. This result also reflected the pause. Even after the relaunch, the visitors were immediately on the spot and, after seven minutes, raised the score from the penalty spot by Conor Washington. Three minutes later, Lithuania was joined by Rolandas Baravykas. In the 64th minute of the game, the “Green & White Army” was fortunate when Lithuania awarded a penalty. Just three minutes later, Shayne Lavery put the lid on it with a 3-1 lead. Paddy McNair’s second penalty was the crowning achievement of the game.
In addition to the threesome on the last matchday, there was still a draw and a defeat. The draw was scored after a goalless draw with Bulgaria and the first matchday brought a 0-2 lead in Italy. At the moment, four points gained are sufficient only for the penultimate position in the league table. However, the third player from Bulgaria has played two more games and only scored one more point. The leader from Italy, who also has two more games in his account, is missing seven points. So it could be very exciting again. However, the quotas in Northern Ireland do not rank first or second. Four goals have been scored so far and the defence had to concede three goals.
Only one qualification duel was contested on home soil. This led to a 0-0 victory over Georgia.

On the last qualifying day, the “Swiss Confederates” received the European Champion from Italy. Under the new coach Murat Yakin, who is the successor of Vladimir Petkovic, the “Nati” played well in the early stages and, as at the European Championship, repeatedly placed pinpricks. It has to be taken into account that Shaqiri, Freuler and Captain Xhaka, who tested positive for corona, lacked some regulars. The Italians were significantly better throughout the game and came on good occasions. But Keeper Sommer kept his case clean. Even in the second round, Sommer was a strong support for his team and saved a penalty from Jorginho. In the end, it should remain the goalless draw.
After three pairs, the “Swiss” are still undefeated. In addition to the draw against Italy, the first two group games were won. After 90 minutes, a narrow 1:1 success jumped out against Lithuania. In addition, the first matchday ended with a 3:1 in Bulgaria. Seven points taken put the eleven in second place in the league table. The gap to the front runner from Italy is four points. But the Swiss have two fewer games in their account. If these two were to be won, you would be the leader of the league. However, the odds point to Italy as a favorite tip for the group victory. The offensive scored four goals and only one goal was conceded to the defence.
Only one match should be played in the distance so far. This resulted in a 3:1 victory over Bulgaria. A similar result is now to be achieved against Northern Ireland.

The Swiss are slight favourites for this approach, insofar as the quotas are given credence. A look at the cadre market values shows significantly more potential for the “Swiss Confederation”. Northern Ireland will therefore not have an easy position. This is also evident in the last three direct duels between the “Green & White Army” and the “Nati”. None was won by Northern Ireland. In addition, the Northern Ireland have not managed to score a goal in any of the last three matches played with Switzerland.
In the course of our betting tip prognosis, a defensive strength test is to be expected. There will be few gates in this. For this reason, it is advisable to bet on the market “less than 2.5 goals”. The last direct pairings (0:0, 0:1, 0:0) underpin this line of thought.
