Switzerland head into the knockouts looking like one of the more reliable sides in this part of the draw.
The Swiss were composed through the Group Stage, controlling games nicely through midfield and showing their usual knack for punishing mistakes when chances presented.
Algeria won’t be lacking belief, though. They’ve shown enough going forward to suggest they can cause Switzerland some problems, particularly if they’re allowed to break quickly into space.
The challenge for Algeria is staying switched on for 90 minutes against a side that doesn’t tend to beat itself. Switzerland are rarely flashy, but they are organised, disciplined, and difficult to pull apart.
This has the feel of a tight tactical contest, but Switzerland’s tournament experience and cleaner defensive shape give them the slight edge.
Prediction: Switzerland to Win & Under 3.5 Goals @ $2.60
Value: Both Teams to Score @ $1.91
Player Pick: Breel Embolo 2+ Shots on Target @ $2.25
