Xamax vs Zurich Prediction & Betting tips
Compared to other European leagues, the Swiss Super League lags significantly behind. There are still eight game days to complete before all decisions are made. Especially in the fight for the last vacant European Cup place, fourth place, a punch and stabbing is expected until the end. In the middle of it all is FC Zurich, who after one year of abstinence is determined to return its business card in the Europa League 2020/21.
Zurich are currently in sixth place, but are tied for points with their direct competitors from Geneva and Lucerne. On Tuesday evening, Ludovic Magnin’s team has the chance to present in a three-way battle. Before the Xamax Neuchatel encounter against FC Zurich, the odds of the best bookmakers turn in favor of the blue and whites.
This assessment is no coincidence, because after the compulsory break the previous year’s seventh has presented a significantly improved form. Three of the last four matches were victorious; In addition, the FCZ remained without a goal in all three successes.
In addition, because the opponent from Neuchâtel adorns the bottom of the table and recently drew the short four times in a row, the prediction of the away three is quite close to the duel Xamax Neuchatel against FC Zurich. Alternatively, the tip that the guests score at least two goals also includes an attractive value.
Xamax :
Xamax Neuchatel is really not to be envied at the moment. The red-blacks hold the red lantern and are currently three points behind the saving bank. The Neuchâtel would also have had a different idea of the restart after the interruption. After a 2-1 home win against FC Thun in the first game after the compulsory break, it recently had four defeats in a row.
The club, which was only able to fix relegation in 2019 after a victory after a penalty shoot-out in the relegation, has to be credited for having been the opponents in the past two weeks with FC Basel (2x), leaders St. Gallen and defending champion Young Boys Bern had in itself and yet the bottom line for the relegation-threatened bottom light is zero points since the 24th matchday.
In addition to the demonstrably not particularly good form, which is reflected not only in the results, but also in the twelve goals conceded in the context of the recent four matches, the disappointing result in their own stadium is one of the reasons that between Xamax Neuchatel and the on Tuesday FC Zurich probably makes a tip on the guest.
At La Maladiére, the team of coach Joel Magnin, who is not related to his namesake Ludovic at FCZ Bank, celebrated just two successes in 14 attempts. In contrast, there are nine losses (highest in the Super League). Only FC Lugano scored fewer hits at home than the red-blacks. To make matters worse, with veteran Djourou and Oss two important defenders have to pass due to injury.
FC Zurich:
FC Zurich have definitely caught up again after the forced break. While the blue-whites remained completely victorious in the first five competitive games in calendar year 2020 and lost important points in the fight for the Europa League, the form curve has clearly been pointing upwards in recent weeks. In three of the last four matches, the Magnin team held the upper hand.
Only against FC Thun did it go bankrupt after a catastrophic initial phase, which was a 0-3 deficit after 20 minutes. Although the Zurich team fought back to 2: 3 almost exactly a week ago, they left the field empty-handed. That changed on the weekend when a deserved 2-0 home win was celebrated in the six-point game against direct competitor Servette Geneva.
In four of the five games after the break, the twelve-time champions (most recently in 2009) scored at least two goals. Because of the likewise sensitive Neuchâtel defensive, it is therefore a plausible alternative to risk a prediction of over 1.5 hits from the table sixth between Xamax Neuchatel and FC Zurich.
Another argument that, in our eyes, justifies a bet on Zurich’s away win in western Switzerland is self-confidence. Anyone who wins 4-0 at the current leader of the St. Gallen table, leads 2-1 at halftime at the reigning title holder and smells a match in the race for the Europa League after their success against Geneva, should have a good chance of getting all three points Kidnap rear light. The question marks behind the missions by Janjicic, Tosin and Mahi, which all had to fit on Saturday, do nothing to change that.
