Switzerland vs Sweden prediction 15.11.2025 | World Cup qualifications

Switzerland became pretty regular at the major tournaments. They will have a chance to secure their sixth World Cup appearance in a row on Saturday when Muran Yakin's team meets Sweden. Switzerland are currently three points ahead of Kosovo with significantly better goal difference, so a win in the upcoming round could be enough. 

Switzerland were flawless in 2025 as they have six wins and two draws so far. In the most recent outing, Switzerland played 0-0 on the road against Slovenia. The guests had ball possession and a number of shots on their side, but their creativity was nowhere near enough to win in Ljubljana. 

About ten days ago, Remo Freuler, one of the most important midfielders in Switzerland, broke his collarbone playing for Bologna, so he is unavailable for the national team's November matches. The big question is who will replace him. Michel Aebischer, who is playing regularly for Pisa this season, seems like a logical solution, but Yakin also could turn to Simon Sohm or Johan Manzambi. 

Sweden didn't have too much success in the World Cup qualifications in recent years, as they skipped three of the last four tournaments. The current campaign was a disaster, too, but luckily, the Scandinavian team played well in the previous Nations League and is in a good position to get a playoff spot. 

Sweden were terrible since the qualifications started, winning only one point in four matches. In the most recent outing, they lost 1-0 at home against Kosovo. The teams were pretty even, but the guests' much better efficiency was enough to leave Sweden empty-handed. 

Two bad games in November cost Jon Dahn Thomasson a job as the Swedish football association sacked him. At his place came Graham Potter. According to the reports from Swedish media, Potter is close to changing the formation to 4-4-2. Also, the team had mostly worked on defensive aspects of the game in the previous days, and that is where we should see some improvements.
