On March 25, 2025, the "AFG Arena" in St. Gallen will host a friendly match between the national teams of Switzerland and Luxembourg. I suggest betting on the total goals in this match.
Switzerland
Until September, the Swiss national team will focus exclusively on friendly matches, with real challenges commencing in the autumn when World Cup qualification begins. The group led by Murat Yakin is quite balanced — besides the Swiss, Sweden, Kosovo, and Slovenia will compete for a spot in the World Cup, promising a tough battle for a place in the global tournament.
During the current international break, Switzerland has already played one match, drawing 1-1 away against Northern Ireland. This draw extended the team's disappointing streak — since their triumph over Italy in the round of 16 at the European Championship, the Swiss have failed to win in eight matches, four of which ended in defeat.
This unstable form has not gone unnoticed — the team was relegated from the elite division of the Nations League and will compete in League B in the next edition. Murat Yakin now faces the task of restoring the team's confidence and fighting spirit to approach the autumn qualification in optimal condition.
Luxembourg
The Luxembourg national team also had an unsuccessful Nations League campaign, finishing last in their group of the third-tier division. However, the team has retained a chance to stay in League C — next spring, they will face a two-legged playoff against Malta, which will determine Luxembourg's fate in the next cycle.
Despite setbacks in official matches, Luxembourg has already managed to surprise during this international break. In a friendly match at home, the team sensationally defeated Sweden 1-0, showcasing organized play and fighting spirit. After such an emotional victory, Luxembourg clearly does not intend to slow down and might aim for another successful result.
Probable lineups
- Switzerland: Kobel, Schmid, Rodriguez, Césiger, Gartenmann, Sierro, Zakaria, Ndoye, Vargas, Embolo, Aebischer
- Luxembourg: Moris, Bonert, Korac, Carlson, Jans, Majo, Martins, Barreiro, Sinani, Rodrigues, Olesen
Match facts and H2H
- The Swiss national team is experiencing serious defensive issues — they have conceded in 8 consecutive matches, and in the last four, the "both teams to score" bet has consistently won.
- On home turf, the Swiss traditionally perform well. The last time they failed to score at home was back in 2022, and since then, they have consistently found the net in 13 home matches.
- Unlike Switzerland, Luxembourg struggles offensively on the road. In the last 6 away games, the team has managed to score only once.
- It's also worth noting the low scoring nature of matches involving Luxembourg — only one of their last seven games saw the "over 2.5 goals" bet come through.
- In head-to-head encounters, Switzerland has dominated — out of 11 matches, they have won 10, with Luxembourg managing to win just once.
Prediction
Switzerland hasn't pleased their fans for a long time. The support of the home crowd and the level of Luxembourg — what more is needed for a long-awaited victory? However, I wouldn't expect a rout, so I suggest betting on a total of under 3.5 goals in the match with odds of 1.6
