Switzerland are rated by many pundits as dark horses to do well at Euro 2020 but USA promise to prove tricky opponents in Sunday’s warm-up match.
The Americans have a couple of tournaments to prepare for themselves this summer and invariably play with plenty of energy and enthusiasm.
We think 23/10 for a St Gallen stalemate is the way to go with our first Switzerland vs USA prediction.
A Look At Switzerland’s Betting Odds
Switzerland are joint-second favourites for Group A at Euro 2020, with Italy the top seeds and Turkey and Wales also present.
Vladimir Petkovic’s side topped their competitive qualifying group ahead of Denmark and reached the semi-finals of the inaugural Nations League.
The Swiss have an experienced spine to their team, with Yann Sommer, Ricardo Rodriguez, Fabian Schar, Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri and Haris Seferovic all key men.
March brought World Cup wins over Bulgaria and Lithuania, plus a 3-2 friendly triumph versus Finland, so this is a team with decent momentum.
Borussia Monchengladbach forward Breel Embolo is regarded as one of the younger players to watch out for.
Looking at the 5/1 for him to score last is a tempting option.
A Look At USA’s Betting Odds
USA have CONCACAF Nations League and Gold Cup events on the horizon and are seeking a sixth straight friendly success here.
Borussia Dortmund teenager Giovanni Reyna and Chelsea star Christian Pulisic netted in March’s 2-1 victory over Northern Ireland in Belfast.
Pulisic will be absent for this contest due to the Champions League final but head coach Gregg Berhalter can call on some familiar faces.
Former Newcastle defender DeAndre Yedlin could feature at the back alongside Fulham duo Tim Ream and Antonee Robinson.
Weston McKennie of Juventus and RB Leipzig’s Tyler Adams are highly-rated young midfielders.
Up front, Lille forward Timothy Weah and Werder Bremen’s Josh Sargent are 21-year-olds with a bright future.
Daryl Dike is coming off a successful loan spell with Barnsley, which yielded nine goals in 19 regular-season Championship matches.
Let’s add 5/2 for the 20-year-old to net at any time to our Switzerland vs USA betting tips.
