Switzerland vs Algeria Tips, Predictions & 40/1 Bet Builder

For a Switzerland side still searching for a first World Cup knockout victory in 88 years, few last 32 draws could have looked more inviting than a meeting with an Algeria team that has traditionally struggled against European opposition.
The Swiss took seven points from a group containing Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar looking typically resolute throughout, whereas Algeria had a tougher time against Argentina — bouncing back to wins against Jordan and that thrilling, confusing 3-3 draw with Austria.
Both sides will fancy getting through this one, with Colombia or Ghana waiting for them in the next round.
Here are our three football betting tips and the best free bet offers for the Switzerland vs Algeria clash on early Friday morning
Switzerland vs Algeria Tips
Here are our top three World Cup betting tips and the best free bets ahead of this game.
Tip 1: BTTS at Evens
It’s fairly hard to pick a winner between these two, despite Switzerland starting as 11/10 favourites with bet365.
Both sides showed glimmers in the group stages and wouldn’t have grumbled about the section they were drawn into in the knockout stages of the tournament.
There will be chances in this one, and with genuine quality in the attacking thirds of both sides, the BTTS market looks the one to back over 90 minutes — something we have seen in 8 of Switzerland’s last 9 matches.
Tip 2: Switzerland to win 2-1
If there is to be a winner on Friday morning, then we think that the Swiss might just have the edge in experience at this level.
Five of Switzerland’s last nine knockout matches in major tournaments have gone to penalties, proving they are hard to break down in these types of meetings.
Switzerland have lost just once in 17 outings — a 4-3 thriller against Germany.
Tip 3: Ruben Vargas to score anytime, Over 1.5 Switzerland goals, Anis Hadj Moussa to be shown a card, Dan Ndoye Over 0.5 shots on target
Rubin Vargas has emerged as one of Switzerland’s key attacking threats at this World Cup, scoring twice so far.
The winger also has a habit of breaking the deadlock, having opened the scoring in six of his last eight international matches in which he has found the net.
Switzerland’s Dan Ndoye has had a shot on target in six of his last eight outings and scored twice in friendlies ahead of the World Cup’s start.
Throw in a card for winger — and Newcastle target — Anis Hadj Moussa, and we build a massive 40/1 Bet Builder with BetMGM.
