Wales vs. Switzerland Tip & Quotes, 12.06.2021 – 15:00
On Saturday afternoon, 12.06.2021 at 3 p.m., the national teams of Wales and Switzerland will meet at the Baku Olympic Stadium on the first day of the European Championships Group A. The Dragons played a good role in their very first EURO in 2016 and made it to the semi-finals where they failed due to the later winner Portugal.
The Confederates had much more ambition in France in 2016 and despite a mixed group phase came into the lap of the last 16 teams. In the final of the season, the Petkovic team was defeated by Poland.

Robert Page’s national team participated in a European Championship for the second time in a row and caused a sensation at the first participation in France in 2016. In a group with Slovakia (2:1), England (1:2) and Russia (3:0) it was even enough to win the group. Against Northern Ireland in the quarter-finals (1:0) and favoured Belgians in the quarter-finals (3:1) the Dragons advanced to the semi-finals against Portugal (0:2).
Qualification for the final round of the European Championships 2021 was mixed. Only in the last international game at home against Hungary (2-0) did Wales climb to second place at the last moment and secure the European Championship ticket at the last moment. In the first three qualifying games, it didn’t look good at first with two defeats. Croatia won the group, against which there was only one counter in both games.
The Welsh national team has now made a name for itself in Europe. Although the cadre with a value of 125 million euros is not one of the most expensive, quality is available. The strengths of the Welsh are limited to pillars in each team area. In the defensive, the two young defenders from the English Premier League Joe Rodon (Tottenham Hotspur) and Ethan Ampadu (Sheffield United) are among the defensive specialists. Likewise, right-wing defender Neco Williams of Liverpool.
The midfield is the biggest weakness, there is currently no one with a big name. In the attack series, Manchester United winger Daniel James is one of the team’s stars alongside captain and superstar Gareth Bale (Tottenham). 24-year-old Harry Wilson of Cardiff City can become Bale’s successor in the future. The external right has a market value of 16 million euros.

(Status: 17.05.2021)
The nation is participating in a final round for the fifth time at THE EURO 2021 and achieved the best result in France five years ago with the entry into the quarter-finals. The three tournaments in England (1996), Portugal (2004) and Austria and Switzerland (2008) ended with the preliminary round out. In the Netherlands and Belgium (2000) as well as Poland and Ukraine (2012), the Swiss Confederation did not qualify for the EM. After the 2016 group stage in France with only one win to kick off against Albania (1:0), there were only two points against Romania (1:1) and the host (0:0). Nevertheless, it was enough to enter the eighth round of the European Championships, where the national team of Vladimir Petkovic then failed after penalty shootouts against Poland.
The European Championship qualifying went well with the group victory ahead of Denmark, Ireland, Georgia and Gibraltar. In the last game of group D, the Swiss won 6-1 in Gibraltar and pushed the Danes (one point less) into second place. Outside, there was also the only bankruptcy against the Scandinavians during the qualifying for the 2021 European Championships.
The greatest strength of the Swiss national team is the quality in the breadth. In any position, the nation can offer experience and quality. Most players earn their money in the German Bundesliga, which is one of the best leagues in Europe. Together with the two Borussian boys from Mönchengladbach (Nico Elvedi) and Dortmund (Manuel Akanji), the Confederates make a strong central defender duo. The greatest potential can be found in the midfield with Captain Granit Xhaka (Arsenal London) and Denis Zakaria (Mönchengladbach), who are more defensively oriented. Remo Freuler (Atalanta Bergamo) and Djibril Sow (Eintracht Frankfurt) are located further ahead in the midfield.
The attack is also competitive in European comparison, but does not belong to the top international class. Breel Embolo (Gladbach) and Haris Seferovic (Benfica Lisbon) are the midfielders. Ruben Vargas from Bundesliga club Augsburg and Yherdan Shaqiri from Premiere League club Liverpool can be found on the outside lanes to the left and right. With a market value of 263 million euros, the Swiss national team is more than twice as valuable as opponent of Wales.

Switzerland is favourite against Wales in the first European Championship game. In the past, the Confederates did not glorify themselves at European Championships and managed to survive the group phase only once. The Dragons, on the other hand, participated in a final round of the European Championships for the first time in France in 2016 and advanced straight to semi-finals. Qualification for THE EURO 2021 enabled the second consecutive participation. Despite the higher quality of the Petkovic team, we expect a balanced international match between the two national teams in Group A. We’re tapping a score split with few goals in Baku.
Personally, we are considering the Under 2.5 Goals bets for this EM 2021 Tip Forecast. The sports betting tip wins if there are no more than two goals in the total in the match. The odds offered for this range on average from 1.50 to 1.57.
