Switzerland v Cyprus preview and predictions

Switzerland is top of Group E in the European World Cup qualification section with 3-2-0 (7-1) in five games. Cyprus is fourth with 1-1-3 (4-8). The reverse fixture ended 0-0. That was a game that Switzerland controlled possession wise, but both sides squandered good chances. Switzerland had most of them, but the Cypriots went close by hitting the woodwork. Both sides will field close to their best squad here. Derdiyok of Hoffenheim (striker) is missing for the Swiss, but it isn't sure he would be playing anyway.

The Cypriots are coming to Switzerland with a squad based on domestic talent. Football in Cyprus has had an upswing in recent years, and the league defnitely isn't as poor as many think.

The swiss definitely lack firepower up front, but they have a very talented defense and midfield. Lichtsteiner of Juventus is probably the biggest name in the defense. In midfield I'd like to mention Napoli trio: Gokhan Inler, Valon Behrami and Blerim Dzemaili as well as Shaqiri (Bayern Munich). 

Switzerland v Cyprus betting tips for 1x2

Surely most experts will treat this one as a no-brainer betting tips on Switzerland. I get it, on paper it looks like the sure thing. However, looking at:

1. Switzerlands relatively weak offense (Seven goals in five doesn't impress much in this group)

2. The reverse fixture mentioned above

3. The ten most recent away games of Cyprus yielding three draws against Portugal, Montenegro and Jordan

I am  sure odds of 1/5 (1.20) aren't worth the bet. I think 6.65 (113/20) for the draw looks huge in this setting. I would set it at 4.00 (3/1) maximum myself!

Switzerland v Cyprus betting tips for Total Goals

Given Swiss possession overlay but a weakish goal conversion ratio vs a compact, fiercly defending Cyprus I think 2.08 (27/25) at Betsson is value for the Under 2.5. I think this is a 50-50 match worst case, so we're definitely dealing with value here!
