Switzerland and Austria will complete their preparations for Euro 2024 with a friendly match scheduled for Saturday in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Both nations are coming from wins in their midweek friendly matches and will be fired up for this final friendly match. Hosts Switzerland produced a ruthless performance against Estonia, winning 4-0 at home to go unbeaten in three straight games. They aren’t just on a three-game unbeaten streak, Switzerland suffered just one defeat inside their last 13 matches. That was against Romania in the Euro qualifiers. They’ve since faced a number of strong teams - Denmark and Ireland - before taking on Estonia. The Swiss will be confident, coming here on a better head to head record against Austria. In the last three meetings, Switzerland beat Austria, with the most recent of those a 2015 friendly match. With an eight-game unbeaten run at home, Switzerland will be looking at this as a game they can win. They’ve registered five wins in their last eight matches at home.


Austria are coming from a 2-1 win over Serbia in their last encounter. All the three goals in that clash came in the first half, with Austria conceding after taking a 2-0 lead. The visitors head into this game on a very confident footing, having suffered just one loss in their last 15 matches. Their win over Serbia was the sixth straight victory, and 12th in their last 15 outings. It was, however, not as ruthless as in their earlier game when they whipped Turkey 6-1. Austria’s balance in defence and attack is admirable. In their run of six straight wins, they conceded just twice. Meanwhile, they scored two or more in each of their last five matches. Not once in their last 16 matches did Austria fail to score, and their good run extends even to away matches. Ralf Rangnick’s side comes into this encounter having won five of the last six away matches, and with three straight clean sheets away from home. For a team set to take on France, Poland and the Netherlands at the Euros, Austria will feel they are on a very confident footing.

Prediction: 1-1
