"Getting their World Cup qualifying adventure underway with a routine performance over the weekend as they cruised their way to a 4-0 romp at home against Kosovo, the Swiss have now won all of their previous four appearances across all competitions and they are enjoying their longest winning run since the summer of 2021. Signing off June's international fixtures with another stellar 4-0 victory against the USA, Yakin's side have continued on a rise up the FIFA rankings."
"Although Slovenia might have got their respective World Cup qualifying campaign underway facing a tough challenge on home soil, Matjaz Kek's side should take plenty of positives away from an eye-catching performance. Snatching a late 2-2 draw at home against Sweden, Monday's guests have their sights firmly set on mounting a real Group B charge. However, despite clinging to their Nations League second-tier status back in March, it is fair to say that the Whites have struggled to find any real stability over recent times."
Several of Europe's elite began World Cup qualifying over the weekend, with action continuing into Monday night and fixtures including Italy, Scotland and Croatia. Seven World Cup qualifying matches are scheduled on Monday. Switzerland lost their elite Nations League status last year and faced pressure entering 2025, but have since won four consecutive matches across competitions, including 4-0 victories over Kosovo and the USA, enjoying their longest winning run since summer 2021 and rising in the FIFA rankings. Switzerland have found a clinical edge in the final third and aim to assert themselves in Group B. Slovenia earned a late 2-2 draw with Sweden and seek a Group B charge but have struggled for stability recently.
