Portugal are 90 minutes away from their second major European final in three years when they take on Switzerland in the semi-final of the UEFA Nations League.
Despite being the joint favourites to lift the inaugural Nations League crown, Portugal come into this semi-final having failed to win any of their last four games. In fact, all of Portugal’s last four matches have ended in disappointing draws.
Switzerland, meanwhile, are in good form and have won three of their last four competitive games. Their presence in the semi-final came as a shock to football fans across the world.
Nevertheless, it is a well-deserved presence as Vladimir Petkovic’ side thrashed Belgium 5-2 in their last Nations League group game to guarantee this semi-final.
This is an incredibly tough game to call. On one hand you could argue that Portugal have home advantage but then again, they’re not firing on all cylinders.
Switzerland, on the other hand, are enjoying good form however, most of the better results have come at home.
There are of course other betting markets than just the outrights. One interesting statistic is that the last three meetings between these sides have seen the home side win 2-0. Another stat is that four of the last five games have seen two goals scored in this fixture.
With that in mind, the recommendation is to back a bet in the total goals market. Two goals to be scored is priced at 5/2.
