On 10 October 2025 at Friends Arena in Solna, Sweden host Switzerland in a Euro 2026 qualifying match that could be one of the round’s most entertaining fixtures.
Prediction Overview: BTTS – Yes
The betting pick is Both Teams to Score – Yes. Sweden’s strong home scoring record and Switzerland’s explosive attack make goals on both sides a very probable outcome. Both teams have been prolific lately, and neither tends to sit back for long stretches in matches of this caliber.
Sweden’s Home Strength & Scoring Trend
Sweden enter their first home qualifier looking to bounce back from a disappointing 0–2 loss away to Kosovo. Before that, they drew 2–2 with Slovenia in another open contest. Their return to Solna should inspire confidence - the Blågult have won their last five home matches, each producing over 2.5 goals. That run includes decisive attacking displays against both top and mid-tier European opposition.
Under manager Jon Dahl Tomasson, Sweden have become more front-footed, using high pressing and quick combinations through midfielders like Emil Forsberg and Dejan Kulusevski. However, this expansive style often leaves space in behind - a recurring factor that increases the likelihood of conceding, especially against efficient teams like Switzerland.
Switzerland’s Ruthless Momentum
Switzerland arrive in terrific form. They have won their last five matches in all competitions, scoring at least three goals in each and keeping three consecutive clean sheets. Their qualification campaign began emphatically with a 4–0 victory over Kosovo and a 3–0 win against Slovenia, demonstrating both efficiency and defensive control. Under Murat Yakin, the Swiss blend organization with attacking sharpness, frequently capitalizing on transitions and set pieces.
With Xherdan Shaqiri providing creativity and Breel Embolo or Zeki Amdouni offering mobility up front, Switzerland’s attack rarely goes quiet for long. Even away from home, they tend to play assertively - they’ve scored in each of their last nine competitive matches on foreign soil.
Match Dynamics & Tactical Flow
This meeting is likely to be open and competitive. Sweden will press forward to assert home control, but Switzerland’s pace in counters can easily exploit those spaces. Both sides are built to score, and neither will approach this fixture conservatively. Expect end-to-end stretches, quick shifts in momentum, and at least one goal for each team.
Given the combination of Sweden’s reliable home scoring, Switzerland’s clinical attack, and the attacking balance of both managers’ philosophies, BTTS – Yes stands as the most value-driven play. A scoreline such as 1-2 or 2-2 appears realistic.
