Netherlands head into their final group game needing a point to guarantee their place in the quarter-finals as they bid to retain their European crown.
Four points from their first two games mean the Dutch are top of Group C but all four teams can still qualify for the knockout stage.
With all to play for, we like 2.10 for the Oranje to win by more than one goal as our opening Switzerland Women vs Netherlands Women prediction.
Switzerland Women Odds
Switzerland remain winless after two games and will be going home if that remains the case after Sunday’s matches.
They began by throwing away a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw with Portugal and then lost 2-1 to Sweden on Wednesday.
In a close affair at Bramall Lane, Ramona Bachmann cancelled out Fridolina Rolfo’s opener for Sweden who won it thanks to an incredible strike from Hanna Bennison.
Manager Nils Nielsen remains optimistic about his team’s chances, saying: “I am very proud of the performance but that doesn’t help us in this moment, I can tell you we were so close that it gives me hope for the next game.
“We showed we can compete with the best, Sweden is one of the best teams out there and they put a lot of pressure on the Netherlands, this gives me hope we have a chance against the Netherlands.”
The Swiss suffered 7-0 and 4-0 warm-up defeats against Germany and England respectively, though, so look easy to oppose.
In the Switzerland Women vs Netherlands Women odds, we like 2.45 for the Dutch to be leading after 30 minutes.
Netherlands Women Odds
The Netherlands were classed as serious contenders for the title heading into the tournament and can be satisfied with their progress so far.
A 1-1 draw with Sweden was a solid start and they then recovered from wasting a two-goal lead to beat Portugal 3-2 and go top of the group.
The failure to keep a clean sheet may be a slight concern and their defence is likely to be tested against a Swiss team who must go for broke.
The Dutch have the quality to make the most of any spaces and a 3-1 win at 11.50 completes our Switzerland Women vs Netherlands Women betting tips.
