Algeria vs Switzerland Prediction World Cup Today

Switzerland Moneyline (+110)

Through the group stage, Switzerland have looked like the much better side, and I am intrigued by the plus-money odds on them to win in regulation.

Switzerland topped Group B with two wins and a draw, besting Bosnia and Canada (in Canada) while drawing with Qatar. While the draw versus Qatar was a bit disappointing, Switzerland mostly controlled the match, handling 68% of the possession and placing seven shots on target. So, even in their one non-win, the Swiss were pretty good.

Algeria, meanwhile, gave up three goals to both Austria and Argentina -- managing a 3-3 draw with Austria -- sandwiched around a 2-1 come-from-behind victory against Jordan. They have looked shaky defensively but have been very willing to go forward, actually winning the possession battle in all three of their matches (52% versus Argentina).

It's Algeria's defense that can be the difference here as a Swiss team that scored four on Bosnia and two at Canada should be able to find plenty of joy tonight.
