Switzerland vs Faroe Islands: Prediction

The Swiss side have dominated Faroe Islands in their past meetings and are ready to continue their dominance. Switzerland are no doubt the superior side between the two teams and have more quality in their team. A win is expected from the home team as they did against Portugal and perhaps keep a clean sheet. Switzerland have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 3 games, we also expect them to get 2 goals or more in this one.
