LiontipsSwitzerland - Norway: World Cup match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Switzerland currently leads the Group A standings and has just displaced Germany from the top spot. The national team has ten points to its credit and is clearly not going to stop there. If she continues to perform in the same spirit, she may well qualify for the playoffs from a leading position. Recall that the only defeat took place in the opening match with the Czech Republic.
After that, the Swiss confidently dealt with Denmark (5:2), the USA (3:0), and literally defeated the Germans with a score of 5:1, leaving no chance for a favorable outcome. In the match against Germany, the Crusaders had a great second half and scored four unanswered goals in it, even despite one canceled goal.
Overall, Patrick Fischer's squad continues to show great performance and in most cases scores at least three or four goals. For example, Sven Andrighetto, who arranged the poker, was seriously upset at the last meeting, but the rest of the forwards are in excellent shape.
Disqualifications and injuries
To date, Switzerland has no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
- Switzerland gets an average of six minutes of penalty time.
- According to statistics, the Swiss make 27 shots.
Current form
Norway is still on the last line of the standings and risks leaving the Top Division if it does not join the fight in the near future. Let's remind that before that, the national team had not managed to get a single victory yet and suffered four defeats in a row. She looked good in matches with Kazakhstan (1:2) and the Czech Republic (1:2), after which she lost heavily to Germany (2:5).
Despite three defeats in a row, the team showed its best side in the confrontation with the USA. By the way, Tobias Johansson's team had to concede by a few goals in that match, as they were losing 1-5 during the match, but at the right moment they pulled themselves together and eventually brought things to overtime, making an incredible comeback. However, luck was still not on his side in extra time.
The hero of the last match was Stian Solberg, who scored a hat-trick. However, the Norwegians usually do not play as well offensively and on average score no more than one or two goals, especially against more skilled opponents.
Disqualifications and injuries
At the moment, the Norwegians have no problems with the squad.
Interesting betting trends
- Norway makes an average of 25 shots on target.
- Norwegians win 46.8% of face-offs

In four out of five matches, the Swiss were successful in the second leg.
1.60Tip and bets
We think that Switzerland will have no problems in the upcoming match and will succeed with a difference of several goals. In the last match, the Crusaders did not encounter resistance even from the Germans, to whom the Norwegians had previously lost with a score of 2:5. Previous matches between the national teams also ended in favor of the Swiss. It is likely that this time Fischer's team will get Victoria with a handicap of at least three goals.
Prediction - Switzerland wins with an Asian handicap (-2.5) on goals in 1.77
Betting on an individual total
Switzerland scores a lot on its own, but it also concedes very little in return. In matches against such opponents, the Swiss usually manage with less than two goals conceded. Norway, with the exception of the last match, showed mediocre performance, so we believe that they will not be able to score twice in the upcoming game either.
We're betting on Norway's individual total of less than 1.5 goals in 1.72
Bet on the total total
In this match, the Swiss are most likely trying to win in class and will not waste a lot of effort. Previous meetings between the teams also turned out to be grassroots and took place with less than six goals scored. Norway is trying to play fairly indoor hockey, so it makes sense in this case to bet on the total less.
We take a total of less than 5.5 goals for 1.90
