Wales v Switzerland betting tips: Dragons aim to defy odds once more

Wales have scored the first goal in nine of their last 10 competitive matches, though, with the exception being a goalless draw against the Republic of Ireland, and the Dragons are 6/4 to roar first again.

Wales v Switzerland head-to-head

There are no recent meetings to help punters in terms of Wales v Switzerland predictions, with the last meetings coming during qualifying for Euro 2012.

The home team came out on top on both occasions, with Wales being thrashed 4-1 away despite Gareth Bale’s equaliser and then gaining revenge with a 2-0 win at home against the 10-man Swiss with Bale again on target after Aaron Ramsey opened the scoring from the penalty spot.

Four of the last five meetings have ended 2-0 to either team and Switzerland are 8/1 to win by that score this weekend while Wales are 16/1.

Previous XI

Switzerland: Mvogo, Mbabu, Schar, Omeragic, Comert, Freuler, Zuber, Sow, Shaqiri, Mehmedi, Gavranovic.

Team news

Aaron Ramsey has won his fitness battle for Wales. He sat out the penultimate training session on Thursday after building up his fitness in recent weeks, but will be involved either from the start or off the bench.

Key battles

Bale continues to be the main man for Wales and should be fresh having been used relatively sparingly by Tottenham this season following his loan move from Real Madrid.

He has a good record of producing the goods when most needed by his country and Bale to score in a Wales win can be backed at 4/1 while he is the same price in the first goalscorer odds.

Switzerland’s squad lacks that kind of stardust but Xherdan Shaqiri will be out to prove his best days are not yet over and they have a solid goalkeeper in Yann Sommer of Borussia Monchengladbach, with Switzerland 6/5 to keep a clean sheet.
