Switzerland v Ireland Team News

Only two tickets are available from each group in the Euro qualifiers and it is looking increasingly likely that the battle for qualification from Group D will go right down to the wire. The competition is pretty fierce in the top tier of the group.

Mick McCarthy has had his players on top form so far in this competition, retaining an undefeated status since the start of the campaign. They seem totally invincible at the moment, escaping defeat on every occasion so far to catapult them to the top of the table.

The Danish national team are hot on the tails of the Green Army in second, both outfits sporting the same points, with Ireland having the goal difference advantage. Kasper Schmeichel and his boys are giving the Irishmen a run for their money.

Switzerland sit right behind Denmark in third, four points adrift, with a very important game in hand. As it is, qualification from the group is still very much up for grabs.

Home advantage is expected to play a very important role in this game, considering Vladmir Petkovic’s men are undefeated in front of their fans. They seem to find solace and comfort when playing on home turf, scoring nothing less than three in each of their home encounters in the competition.

Also, going back to the history books, home advantage has almost always come into play when these two sides go head-to head. Ireland have only one win to their name in all of their away games against this opposition since 1975. This stat places the ball in the court of the Irishmen and it is left for the Green Army to decide what to do with it.

Even though the Swiss find themselves down in third place on the standings, a win against Ireland will put them right back in contention for qualification from the group. Their game in hand will provide them a huge boost as they look to go all in for glory in the competition.

However, the Irishmen, who are undefeated so far will give this game their all, knowing that a win will all but secure a place in the finals come 2020. The reverse fixture of the game in Ireland ended in a drab 1-1 score-line.
