Top Algeria vs. Switzerland predictions
After examining Spain vs. Austria from every angle, Eimer is leaning Over 2.5 total goals (+115). Both teams showed defensive vulnerabilities throughout the group stage, and Switzerland’s attack has the quality to exploit them.
“Both of these teams have serious defensive issues, and I think Switzerland’s forwards will find ways through,” Eimer mentioned. “All three of Algeria’s group stage games went over the total, and with Embolo, Vargas and Ndoye capable of finding the net against this Algeria backline, the Over at +115 looks like outstanding value.” See Eimer’s best bets for Switzerland vs. Algeria at SportsLine, and you can bet the Over in Algeria vs. Switzerland at FanDuel here:
