Euro 2008 Switzerland vs Portugal Predictions

The co-hosts Switzerland and Portugal will meet in a match which smells like friendly more than an official Euro match. Switzerland are out of competition and this is their last euro game while Portugal is already qualified for quarterfinals.

Switzerland will probably try to play some beautiful football in front of their own crowd, a sort of “thanks for supporting us”.

I don’t think that Portugal will use their full squad, prefering to rest some of the key players while offering a chance to play to those that played a little or they didn’t played at all this championship. The result should be a sort of nice and “friendly” game which will probably end in a draw.

Switzerland and Turkey lost their first matches so this might be their last chance to qualify for QF’s. Both teams played some quality football so far, Switzerland missed some good opportunities agains Czech Republic and also lost Alexander Frei, their main man, while Turkey played with a lot of courage against Portugal but they never looked like having any chance in that match.

A draw won’t help any of the teams and I think we will see a tough match where both of the teams will atack in order to win and get the 3 points.

Our tip for Switzerland vs Turkey is 1x – I think Switzerland has a small advantage by playing in front of their own supporters and if Emre won’t play for the turks I can’t see them winning.

Vaclav Sverkos gave the Czech Republic a winning start scoring in the 70th minute the only goal of the match. Switzerland played some excellent football and they probably deserved at least a draw today while the czechs can be considered lucky for the victory.

Unfortunatelly for Switzerland, their team captain, Alexander Frei, was injured and replaced at half time.

Switzerland: Benaglio; Lichtsteiner (75th Vonlanthen), Mueller, Senderos, Magnin; Behrami (83rd Derdiyok), Inler, Gelson, Barnetta; Frei (46th Yakin), Streller.

Czech Republic: Cech; Grygera, Ujfalusi, Rozehnal, Jankulovski; Polak, Galasek; Sionko (83rd Vlcek), Jarolim (87th Kovac), Plasil; Koller (57th Sverkos).

Our x2 prediction was obviously right and also some of our contest participants won their first point for the Euro Tipster competition.

Here we go… let’s kick off our tipsting contest with the first day matches. For more informations about our contest please check the TipsterBet contest page and contest’s rules.

Switzerland – Czech Republic

Being the opening match of Euro 2008, we expect a pretty close game where Switzerland have the second chance. Czech Republic is a great side with experienced players found at some of the best club teams in Europe. I’m thinking a draw would be just fair for both teams but it is also possible that Czech Republic will win by one goal difference. I don’t think the swiss are just good enough to beat the czechs. Instead of going for x on some betting slips and for 2 on some others, I would choose the less risky option to play at double chance x2. It is quite a safe bet in my opinion and every little helps in betting . Also this match might be played at “under 2,5″ or even safer at “under 3,5″.

Our tip for Switzerland – Czech Republic is x2

Switzerland qualified at Euro 2008 as one of the two host nations without having to play a single qualifying match.  Jakob Kuhn’s team will have to play in Group A against Czech Republic, Portugal and Turkey.  I can’t see them winning any match to be honest. I’d say the best to expect from them might be a draw against Turkey. Here is the full list of players for Euro 2008:

1 Diego Benaglio
2 Johan Djourou
3 Ludovic Magnin
4 Philippe Senderos
5 Stephan Lichtsteiner
6 Benjamin Huggel
7 Ricardo Cabanas
8 Gökhan Inler
9 Alexander Frei
10 Hakan Yakin
11 Marco Streller
12 Eren Derdiyok
13 Stéphane Grichting
14 Daniel Gygax
15 Gelson Fernandes
16 Tranquillo Barnetta
17 Christoph Spycher
18 Pascal Zuberbühler
19 Valon Behrami
20 Patrick Müller
21 Eldin Jakupovic
22 Johan Vonlanthen
23 Philipp Degen
