Andorra vs Switzerland
European Qualifiers – 2018 World Cup
Date: Monday, 10th October 2016
Kick-off at 19:45 UK
Venue: Estadi Nacional, Andorra la Vella.
Andorra were an absolute shambles against Portugal. A combination of poor finishing, complacency and sheer obsurd luck prevented the score line from going in to double figures when it quite easily could have. Andorra also finished the game with nine men after completely losing their heads in the second half.Switzerland currently top the group and both themselves and Portugal should pick up wins on this match day. Switzerland will remain top having won all three of their games, and their goal difference ahead of this game is one worse than Portugal's. This could be an all important result if Portugal were to beat them in the return game.With easy pickings for Portugal and Switzerland on offer the amount of goals those two teams manage to put past Andorra could actually be the decisive factor in winning this group of finishing in second place.
We know that Switzerland will absolutely dominate possesion, create endless chances and they'll hope they can finish them better than Portugal did at times. A 4-0 or 5-0 outcome would be more than enough to constitute a good result as they'll move on to nine points and hold a healthy goal difference, but like Portugal they'll understand the potential importance of making the most of this game. Back Switzerland –3.75AH at odds of 13/11 with 888Sport.
Moldova, Latvia and St Kitts and Nevis have all won here in 2016. Andorra are just as bad at home as they are away, although their games are a little more competitive. They were beaten 4-1 by Belgium and did give Wales a scare in their most recent qualifying campaign, but I think Switzerland has so much pace and movement that this will be one of their more damning home losses.Back a 4-0 to Switzerland as our correct score prediction at odds of 5/1 with Paddy Power.
The odds are slim, but I'm too sure how to approach such a game. Switzerland could create chances and score goals from anywhere other the pitch, so I won't risk backing a player to score two. The odds are a bit slimmer than we would like but we expect Embolo to get in on the action.Back Breel Embolo to score at 4/7 with Bet365.
