Switzerland and Czech Republic will be locked in a relegation battle in Group 2 of League A in the UEFA Nations League when the two nations face off on Match Day 5 of the competition. The two are separated by two points ahead of this game hosted by Switzerland. The home team has six points while Czech come into the game with four points. Switzerland rose from the bottom of the group with two straight wins against the group’s leading nations, Spain and Portugal. They will definitely come into this game motivated and hoping to avoid disappointment at home after a 2-1 win over Spain. They need only a draw to stay third, but a win could take them to second if Spain lose to Portugal. An area to address is their defence; the Swiss have one clean sheet in five matches and will want to avenge the 2-1 loss to Czech in the first meeting.
Czech Republic’s hopes of getting to the semi finals stage were extinguished in a 4-0 defeat at home to Portugal. They drop from a team contending for a place in the finals to one fighting relegation; that’s how competitive this group is. The visitors are winless in their last four matches, and have suffered three straight losses. They’ve also failed to score a goal in their last three matches, while in the last four, they’ve conceded two or more goals in each. Three of Czech Republic’s last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Away from home, they haven’t also done well, failing to win any of the last four and failing to score in three of the four.
Czech Republic have no win in their last four matches and no goals in the last three. They have a poor run going into this game and Switzerland should be able to brush them aside, going by their results in the last two matches. A win for the home team is a possibility here.
