swiss nationalteam has to play on saturday in
Luxemburg. The leader of group 2 faces a must-win situation to take a big step directed to the qualification for
South Africa 2010.
Luxemburg vs Switzerland
UEFA WC Qualification Group 2
Saturday, 10th of october 2009, 5:45 pm
Switzerland faces after 8 games of group 2 the leading position with 3 points advantage to Greece and Latvia. Having a duel between Latvia and Greece on saturday at 8:30pm Switzerland could take the opportunity to qualify with a win for Sout Africa 2010 when the game between their rivals ended without a winner.
If the other game will be won by one of both teams, the decision in group 2 will be postponed to upcoming wednesday. Then Switzerland will host Israel, Greece at home against Luxemburg and Latvia versus Moldavia. According to the results of the saturday games it could give a decision or there could be a narrow decision on wednesday.
Out of the last 10 games Switzerland only lost one, faces 3 draws and 6 wins. Luxemburg on the other side has a complete contrary balance. 1 win, 3 draw and 6 defeats. Interestingly Luxemburg won at the 2. gameday (10th of september 2008) in Zürich with 2:1. This result opens another big game on saturday.
My tipp: Switzerland will not undersestimate Luxembrug due to the result of the first game. Therefore a clear win for Switzerland, best odd at Bet365 with 1,08!
