Why you should back England

Manager Gareth Southgate has put together a formidable team for the run-up to Qatar 2022, and those players will be giving their all to impress the boss. Starting jobs are limited, with the Three Lions boasting a roster that features Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish among the attacking options. Kane had 12 goals in eight World Cup qualifiers as the team outscored its opponents by an astonishing 39-3 in its 10 games. He has 20 goals in all competitions for Tottenham this season. Sterling has 14 for Manchester City.

England has won eight straight friendly matches, and it hasn’t allowed a goal in one at Wembley since 2018. It has not lost to Switzerland since 1981, holding a 21-7 goal advantage and going 9-3-0 in the 12 games since then. The Swiss haven’t scored a goal in the past four. The last meeting was a 0-0 draw in a Nations League third-place match in 2019, which the Three Lions won on penalties. 

Why you should back Switzerland 

The Swiss come in with confidence after finishing atop a World Cup qualifying group that included four-time world champion Italy. Switzerland allowed just two goals in the eight qualifiers, and it can put out a strong starting 11 despite some injuries. The attack features Granit Xhaka of Arsenal and veteran Xherdan Shaqiri, who scored his first goal for Chicago Fire in MLS on Saturday. He has made previous stops at Liverpool and Bayern Munich in his career. They have combined for 38 goals in 198 appearances and are hard-nosed players who hound opponents.

The leadership of captain Xhaka and vice-captain Shaqiri has a big effect on the team, along with their ability to draw fouls and frustrate opponents. Atalanta’s Remo Freuler also brings a tireless work ethic to midfield, and Nico Elvedi of Borussia Monchengladbach anchors the back line.
