H2H: Denmark vs. Switzerland – Score prediction (12.10.2019)

Overview.

Arguably the most competitive clash of Saturday’s European Championship qualifiers (ECQ) sees Denmark (FIFA rank: #14) welcome Switzerland (#11). Group D appears a three-way shootout between unbeaten sides, which makes avoiding defeat in this game a must for both nations as evidenced in the reverse, when Denmark completed a three-goal comeback in the final ten minutes to draw 3-3. Since losing their opening two games of 2018 by a single-goal margin, Denmark have gone unbeaten in 90 minutes in all but one game since (W8, D11). Six of those eight victories were ‘to nil’, whilst over half of the draws were goalless (54.55%).

Though the higher-ranked of the two, Switzerland may struggle, having won just two of their last eight matches on foreign soil (D1, L5 – extra-time included), both against sides ranked below #40. Notably, they have lost each of their last five away games to top-20 ranked nations, three by a single-goal margin. In the last ECQ campaign, Switzerland didn’t draw on the road, whilst just one game saw both teams score (W3, L2) – something that happened last time out vs Ireland (1-1). Interestingly, both away defeats in that previous campaign came against the other sides making up the top-three.
