Switzerland vs Northern Ireland 0h00, 13/11 (Play Offs - World Cup 2018)
The first leg ended in a 1-0 win over Switzerland.
TLCA: 0: 1 - TX: 2 1/4
Pick: Northern Ireland and Under
The reason: Switzerland was not really convinced with a 1-0 victory in the first leg. The goal from the 11m spot created quite a lot of controversy as Northern Ireland's players have not touched the ball in the penalty area according to some experts when watching the tape slow. The home team's task now is to preserve the existing advantage to win the 2018 World Cup.
There is too little reason to believe in Switzerland in this match as their stars have calculated to ensure they have enough capacity to go to Russia. Law goalkeeper away the home team to Switzerland more prudent to avoid mistakes are not worth it. Moreover, Shaqiri and his team-mates need to keep their strengths when they return to the club next weekend.
In addition, Northern Ireland have a good squad with many of the Premier League stars such as Jonny Evans, Brunt, Davis, McAuley and Ward are unlikely to succumb in difficult times. High pressure is something that many of the players are too familiar to play in the Premier League. Looking at Northern Ireland's away field is also desirable as they have won two out of three away wins.
Team info expected:
Switzerland: Sommer; Lichtsteiner, Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez; Xhaka, Zakaria; Shaqiri, Dzemaili, Zuber; Seferovic.
Northern Ireland: McGovern; McLaughlin, McAuley, Jonny Evans, Brunt; Davis, Norwood, Saville; Magennis, Ward, Lafferty.
GUESS : 1-1
