Prediction: 4-1
Estonia
Switzerland will continue their preparations for the EURO 2024 finals with a home game against Estonia on Tuesday evening. The Rossocrociati have big ambitions for the upcoming showpiece tournament in Germany and they must be high on confidence following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Republic of Ireland. Xherdan Shaqiri misses out with injury, but all Granit Xhaka, Noah Okafor, and Man City centre-back Manuel Akanji should start against Estonia.
The visitors, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the EURO promotion semis against Poland (1-5). As Switzerland are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Tallin with their hands-empty. You should bear in mind that Switzerland are eyeing their fifth consecutive win over Estonia in all competitions. A man to watch in the away team will be Flora midfielder Konstantin Vassiljev, who has netted 26 goals in 157 appearances for Estonia.
Highlighted Player (Granit Xhaka):
Granit Xhaka is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most talented central midfielders at the moment and he is on the radar of quite a few high-profile sides. Just two seasons at FC Basel proved enough to attract interest from Borussia M’gladbach, who secured his signature in the summer of 2012.
The Switzerland international had a slow start to his career in Germany, causing many pundits to start doubting his credentials, but he eventually turn things around to show he is more than capable of playing at the highest level. Acting as a deep-lying playmaker, Xhaka impressed fans and pundits alike with his performances in Bundesliga and European competitions, and he even managed to score a couple of important goals in the process.
Despite his fragile age, the highly regarded footballer has been a key member of the Switzerland national team for quite some time now, scoring 6 goals in his first 40 caps to establish himself as a real leader of the Rossocrociati. The 2014 World Cup, where he scored one goal in four starts, should prove just the first of many major tournaments to come.
Highlighted Team (Estonia):
Former Soviet republic Estonia declared its independence on August 20, 1991 and they have been participating in FIFA and UEFA competitions ever since. The Estonians have yet to make it to the finals of a major tournament, but they often made life difficult for European giants in the qualifiers.
In 2010 Estonia did well to beat Serbia in Belgrade in the Euro 2012 qualifiers, but they eventually failed to qualify for the showpiece tournament. “The Blueshirts” welcome their rivals at Le Coq Arena in Tallinn and the capacity of the stadium is 10.500. Sergei Zenjov, who played for the likes of Blackpool, Karpaty and Torpedo Moscow in the past is one of the most famous Estonian footballers.
Ragnar Klavan is yet another notable footballer who plays for both Estonia national football team and Liverpool. The Estonians play their home games in blue shirts and black shorts, while they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
