HungarySwitzerlandForecasts
The teams of Hungary and Switzerland will continue their matches in the first round of the Euro 2024 group stage. Everyone expects an equal game from the teams with a slight advantage for the Swiss, including bookmakers - the odds for a draw are 3.3, for a victory for the nominal guests 2.25. But we do not believe in any advantage in favor of Switzerland at all and we will explain why below.
Hungary now has almost the best generation of football players in 50 years, the last big tournament showed that the Hungarians can compete on equal terms with the top teams. Szoboszlai, one of Liverpool's best players this season, will most likely be the youngest captain in the tournament, the team's game is built around him and he is in great shape. Hungary also has many players from the Bundesliga, the Austrian championship, most of them are young, but already have experience of big tournaments and matches.
The Hungarian team has not lost a single match in the Euro qualifying group, conceding only 7 goals in 8 matches. Yes, they did not have a top team as opponents in the qualifying round, but this does not diminish their merits in the results and, most importantly, the quality of the game. Hungary scored in all of the last 10 matches, they are gradually moving away from their defensive style and are beginning to feel their strength. And if they do not score points in the match with Switzerland, then they may have problems with advancing from the group.
Switzerland is in a worse situation - in the qualifying group they were unable to take first place, letting the Romanian team, which is not shining at all, ahead. The fact that the Romanians scored 22 points is not so much due to their excellent play, as to the weak play of their opponents, including Switzerland. For comparison, Romania conceded 5 goals in 10 qualifying matches, while the Swiss conceded 11. But we will return to the Romanians in the forecast for their match, let's go into more detail about the Swiss team.
For many, it is a mystery why the coach of Switzerland, Murat Yakin, was not fired after such an unconvincing game in the qualifying round. If there were still chances for a good performance at the Euro with the change of coach, now, in our opinion, there are practically none. Shaqiri is still playing in the main team, who does not shine even in MLS, Xhaka had a great season, but the last matches show that he has become physically exhausted and the Hungarians can simply “drive” him. And when Xhaka does not succeed, he can pick up cards and we will not be surprised at all if it is Granit who receives the first red card in the tournament in the second match of the group stage.
There are also bright spots in the current Switzerland - Embolo, Sommer, Akanji, but will they be enough to win the match? We doubt it. This match is one of the best ways to try to catch a good coefficient on 1X.
Sportwars.net forecast for the match of the 1st round of the group stage, Euro 2024, Hungary - Switzerland: 1X (Hungary will not lose), coefficient 1.7.
