    Predictions for Switzerland and Israel

    What do people hope happens in this game. I think a draw is the best for us but its a complicated one. I think its going to be a 1-1 draw.

    A draw or a Swiss win is the best result, if Israel win, we will have to beat France to qualify
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    A draw is definitely the best option for us but I reckon the Swiss will win it. If Israel are to get 1st or 2nd in the group they have to win this one which means they will have to play a more attacking game which will leave them more vulnerable at the back. This is of course unless they do a Greece on it, defend throughout and take their chance when it comes.

    A draw means two rivals for qualification have both dropped two points. I'm hoping for all draws between our rivals until the end of the group, tho three wins from us assures us automatic qualification i think (gotta check the table again).

    I second that. The Swiss are looking stronger and stronger, and in my opinion are going to top this group. The wheels are going to come off for Israel, and not before time. They should have been put out of the running by us, but unfortunately we sacrificed that intiative. Swiss to win by 2 clear goals. Israel out of the running.

    Have to agree. The Swiss should beat Israel 2 or 3 nothing. This Israeli team just isn't very good. We dropped 4 points against them and it's going to come back to haunt us.

    My overall predictions:

    We draw with the French (hopefully). Beat Cyprus and then beat the Swiss
    There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.

    Israel were poor in their 2 games against us but they are not a poor team. They dominated when Switzerland played in Tel Aviv and should have won. Their play on the break at home to France was top class. Really fast passing and nearly always created a chance. France did get Trezeguet sent off and after that Israel destroyed them and maybe could have scored at the end. France just sat back and held on for the draw. They beat the hosts Ukraine recently in a friendly tournament without Benayoun and Ben Haim. Just look at their results over the last few years. Benayoun could win the match single handedly as he almost did in against Switzerland in Tel Aviv.

    Switzerland will not roll them over. Switzerland have been no better than Israel in this campaign. Its all well and good judging them from the 2 games against us but they gave us way too much respect in those games and when they go out and attack they look class.
