Switzerland - Qatar Prediction, Picks and Tips

Switzerland will play a friendly match against Lugar in Lugano on Wednesday-evening in Lugano, the organizer of the World Cup of 2022. The Swiss are of course favorite, but they have a lot of personnel problems.

For Switzerland, this international season is dominated by the cracker against Belgium in group 2 of the Nations League. The Alpenland previously lost the duel against the Red Devils and must win anyway this weekend to keep her chance of reaching the Nations League Finals alive. The practice match against Qatar in Lugano is in fact nothing more than a warm-up in preparation for the real work. National coach Vladimir Petkovic will almost certainly bring a bred B-team to the kickoff. It is in any case not the choice leader, because La Nati is struggling with many injuries. Known names such as Roman Bürki (Borussia Dortmund), Manuel Akanji (Borussia Dortmund), Johan Djourou (SPAL), Breel Embolo (Schalke 04) and Admir Mehmedi had to cancel injured, while also Timm Klose (Norwich City), Fabian Schär (Newcastle United) and Ricardo Rodriguez (AC Milan) are by no means top fit. With players like Zherdan Shaqiri (Liverpool) and Granit Xhaka (Arsenal) there is still plenty of quality, but the chances are that they are saved for the top match against Belgium. Probably Petkovic will appeal to the younger guard as Djibril Sow (Young Boys) and Albian Ajeti (Basel).

Qatar is preparing for the Asian Cup from early next year and is in the long term already somewhat concerned with the World Cup of 2022, in which the oil state as a host country will do everything to avoid a mud figure. That will be quite a job, because except for regional titles, the Maroon's trophy cabinet is awfully empty. The winning of the World Cup has cost a nice amount, but talent is (fortunately!) Not for sale. National coach Felix Sanchez, a former youth coach of FC Barcelona, ​​does not do so badly with his young selection. This calendar year was Qatar with four victories and a draw still unbeaten, until the country last month in and against Uzbekistan with 2-0 went down. In the away games the shoe is indeed wringing. For its own public, in the sweltering Doha, Qatar sometimes wants to surprise, but on foreign soil the shortcomings with no less than nine defeats in eleven away games are often painfully clear. In addition, Qatar lacks international experience. Clubs such as Eupen (Belgium) and Cultural Leonesa (Spain) are in the hands of Aspire from Qatar and therefore had several Qatari players in the ranks in previous seasons. That level turned out to be too high, so all internationals from Qatar are now playing in the desert again.
