Two teams that will participate in the upcoming World Cup, Switzerland and Jordan, will meet on Sunday in a friendly match. Both sides struggled with consistency in their recent games and will try to return to the right track with a good performance. Can Switzerland dominate against Jordan? Let's break down the match and find the best betting option.
Switzerland team overview
The tournament in the USA, Canada, and Mexico will be Switzerland's sixth World Cup in a row. However, after suffering exits in the 1/8 finals in each of their previous three appearances, Murat Yakin's side will be hoping to finally take the next step and make a deeper run this time around. Switzerland is in the group with Qatar, Canada, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Yakin's team has every right to believe in success.
The biggest worry for Switzerland is their recent form, as they have won only once in the last five matches. In the most recent outing, Yakin's team played 0-0 against Norway. The teams were pretty even in that game, and a draw was probably the fairest outcome.
Switzerland's head coach, Murat Yakin, talked recently about his team's goals for the World Cup. He said, "The confident qualification and the strong European Championship two years ago have raised expectations. We've learned the lessons from the last World Cup and know what we did wrong. That's why we want to show the best World Cup. I don't think we need a specific knockout round target, but one thing is clear: just getting through the group stage wouldn't be enough for us."

Jordan team overview
The World Cup next month will be Jordan's first ever. Although inexperienced at the highest level, Jordan showed in a couple of previous AFC Asian Cup championships that they are improving. However, Jamal Sellami's team is in an incredibly tough group with Argentina, Austria, and Algeria, and it seems pretty unlikely Jordan will progress to the knockout phase.
Jordan are winless in the last six matches. In the most recent outing, Sellami's team played 2-2 against Nigeria. That was a surprisingly good performance from Jordan, and they will need a couple of games like that at the World Cup to have any chance in their group.
Jordan's head coach, Jamal Sellami, talked recently about his team's goals for the upcoming tournament. He said, "Naturally, I want the national team's performance at the World Cup to reflect the spirit of 'Al-Nashama,' the nickname associated with this team, which represents courage, unity, boldness, and presence. We are facing teams with different philosophies, but we are capable of presenting a positive image, and we have already done that by successfully showcasing the identity of Jordanian football. Through this achievement, our main goal was to show future generations the path they can follow."
