Tip and bets

1.96total under 2,5 goals

Switzerland national team got off to a slow start in the Nations League. Players are surely exhausted after a long season, plus Nati have not so many rotation options. Nonetheless, we think that team has room for an improvement, hosts should be able to put up a fight against Portugal. In 3 of 5 latest head-to-head matches no more than two goals were scored and we are expecting the same result here.

Our prediction - total under 2,5 goals
