Switzerland

2 : 0

Algeria

Switzerland's superior form (7.78 vs 5.78) and home advantage in a World Cup knockout scenario give them the edge. Algeria averaging 2.1 GPG away suggests they'll be competitive but Switzerland's 2.0 home GPG and 2-point form advantage tips this.

Both sides averaging 2.0+ GPG and World Cup knockout urgency typically produces goals. Combined 4.1 GPG average strongly supports over 2.5, and the predicted 2-1 scoreline gives 3 total goals.

Algeria's 2.1 GPG away suggests attacking threat even in difficult fixtures. Switzerland concede goals at home (evidenced by GPG data) and knockout football incentivizes both teams to push forward.
