Switzerland vs Belarus Betting Tips: AH1 (-2)
Switzerland has successfully fulfilled the expectations set for them in this qualifying phase, displaying dominance in Group I by securing four victories and two draws, resulting in an impressive total of 14 points. However, they cannot afford to become complacent as Romania (13 pts) and Israel (11 pts) closely trail them, leaving no room for relaxation.
Rossocrociati has made it a top priority to secure all three points in Sunday’s match, as they strive to establish a comfortable four-point advantage over their closest competitor.
After two consecutive draws against Romania and Kosovo, both resulting in a 2-2 scoreline, Murat Yakin’s team regained their confidence by securing a dominant 3-0 win over the underdog of their group, Andorra. With their previous remarkable 5-0 triumph over Belarus at the beginning of the EURO 2024 qualifiers, they will strive to replicate such a significant victory against their upcoming opponent.
Belarus is nearing the end of their Group I campaign with only three matches remaining. Unfortunately, it is evident that they will once again be denied their first-ever opportunity to participate in the final stage of the EURO as an independent nation. Currently occupying the second-to-last position, Belarus has accumulated a total of five points, merely three more than the underdog team, Andorra. Throughout this qualification cycle, Belarus managed to secure only a single victory, which occurred during the fourth round with a 2-1 triumph over Kosovo.
During the middle of the week, the White Wings successfully prevented their opponent from taking control, resulting in a goalless draw against Romania in their initial October qualifying match. Although this can be considered a satisfactory result, it is crucial to recognize that this extends their streak of not scoring goals to a third consecutive game, leaving little optimism that they will regain their ability to score against the leading team in the group.
Another worrisome aspect for the 105th-placed team on FIFA’s rankings is their track record in direct clashes. Not only has Belarus lost all four clashes against Switzerland, but they haven’t managed to find the back of the net in any of those games. When you factor in that Rossocrociati have a habit of scoring goals for fun on their home turf, it becomes apparent why anything but a convincing victory for the hosts would be a surprise.

Switzerland team news
Coach Murat Yakin is expected to stick with the same starting lineup that achieved a resounding 3-0 win against Andorra, as they strive to retain their top position in the table and widen the gap ahead of second-placed Romania.
Nevertheless, the Swiss will be forced into making two changes to their lineup for their sole October qualifying clash, with Uran Bislimi and Andi Zeqiri stepping in to fill the voids left by the absence of Ruben Vargas (dealing with an adductor issue) and Noah Okafor from AC Milan (recovering from a head injury).

Meanwhile, coach Carlos Alosu will have to manage without the identical starting eleven that secured a vital point in the goalless draw against Romania. This presents a significant setback for Belarus, with two of their midfielders, Max Ebong and Vladislav Klimovich, nursing injuries sustained in the latter stages of that fixture.
Injuries to the key midfield duo have opened the door for Valeriy Bocherov and Valeriy Gromyko to start the match as part of the initial eleven, while Vladislav Morozov will remain up front in an attempt to increase his goal tally to three.
