- The nominal hosts receive an average of 0.5 yellow cards per game, and the visitors 0.75. Their opponents are shown an average of 1.17 and 1.5 cards respectively.

⚔️ Head-to-Head Statistics
This upcoming match marks the sixth historical meeting between these two sides. Switzerland currently holds a slight edge in their head-to-head record, having secured two victories compared to Finland’s single win. However, it’s worth noting that their last encounter took place back in 2019.☑️ Match Prediction: Finland Women vs Switzerland Women: Switzerland Women to Win at Odds of 2.14
In this matchup, Switzerland is considered the favorite and is unlikely to squander this opportunity. Especially with guaranteed home crowd support and a seemingly less challenging opponent. The tournament hosts put up a strong fight against Norway in their opening Euro match, despite a 1-2 loss, before securing a 2-0 victory over Iceland. Finland’s journey has been somewhat similar, although their win against Iceland was achieved with greater difficulty. Based on these observations, our prediction is a victory for Switzerland at odds of 2.14. It is improbable that we will witness a high-scoring affair. A draw in this scenario would be enough to send one of the teams into the playoffs, so neither side is expected to take significant risks. Furthermore, both Finland and Switzerland have conceded an average of one goal per game in the tournament. Both defensive lapses for each team occurred in their respective matches against Norway. They both managed to keep a clean sheet against Iceland. Consequently, we recommend betting on a total goals under 2.5 at odds of 1.82.Average Statistics in the Tournament
