Northern Ireland can reach World Cup Group B to face Canada, Qatar and Switzerland if they beat Italy and then Wales or Bosnia-Herzegovina in March.
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.
