Switzerland Women vs Iceland Women

Switzerland battle Iceland in their second Group A fixture at the UEFA European Women's Championship, with both teams looking to bounce back from opening day defeats.

Both sides will be desperate to get off the mark with some points in the table and are likely to be fired up for this one. Neither defence has shown much solidity lately and this clash is expected to produce goals.

Switzerland Women News


Switzerland began their campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Norway in their opening fixture. They struck first through Nadine Riesen but capitulated after the break, with Julia Stierli also scoring a second half own-goal.

That result maintains Switzerland's patchy form as they have now picked up just one win from their last 10 matches across all competitions. Poor defending has been the major issue for Pia Sundhage’s team, who are without a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches.
 
Switzerland are usually let down by poor defending but they often attempt to show some attacking quality. They tend to make fast starts and have scored first in three of their last five matches across all competitions, with four of those five fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.
 

Iceland Women News


Iceland also began their campaign with a defeat as they fell 1-0 to Finland in their opening fixture. They held their own for much of the encounter but were mostly let down by some poor finishing having created several chances. 

Manager Thorsteinn Halldorsson will be keen to set things right in the second game as Iceland are usually solid in attack, scoring in three of the previous four matches. However, one constant factor is their vulnerable backline having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five matches across all competitions. 

While the manager will take some positives from Iceland’s performance in the opening game, the outcome was consistent with their recent results. Like the Swiss, they have also picked up just one win from their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Head to Head


Switzerland have only lost once in this fixture, picking up four wins and two draws from seven previous matches against Iceland. Both teams met during the UEFA Nations League and played out a 0-0 draw in the first clash before battling to a 3-3 scoreline in the reverse fixture

Verdict

Switzerland have a knack for fast starts and should grab the first goal here having opened the scoring in the last meeting with Iceland. Defending has been a major issue for both teams and having scored in two of their last three meetings, a similar pattern is expected.
 
Four of Switzerland's last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. With two of the last three meetings with Iceland also serving up a similar outcome, a repeat could be on the cards.
