It is top versus bottom in Nations League Group B1 on Tuesday, when Switzerland are aiming to make it four wins out of four against struggling visitors North Macedonia.
The Swiss had an impressive run at the 2026 World Cup, losing in extra-time to Argentina in the quarter-finals, and they have made a strong start to their Nations League campaign.
North Macedonia, in contrast, failed to score a goal in defeats to Switzerland, Slovenia and Scotland and they are 22/1 for a shock victory in Lucerne.
Switzerland v North Macedonia Tips Summary
Best Bet - Switzerland to win 4-0 @ 11/2
Alternative Bet - Bojan Ilievski to be booked @ 13/8
Bet Builder - Enis Bardhi to be booked, Switzerland-Switzerland Half Time/Full Time & Under 0.5 North Macedonia goals @ 27/4
Switzerland v North Macedonia Prediction
Best Bet: Switzerland to win 4-0 @ 11/2
Switzerland's final game of the 2024/25 Nations League was a 3-2 defeat to Spain, who needed a 93rd-minute penalty to clinch three points.
The Swiss have been on an outstanding run since then and their only loss in 90 minutes was a 4-3 friendly defeat to Germany in March.
They took Argentina to extra-time in the World Cup quarter-finals, despite being reduced to 10 men, so it is no surprise to see them bossing Group B1 of the Nations League.
Switzerland won 3-0 in North Macedonia on matchday one and should be backed to go one better in the return fixture.
They had 11 shots on target to their hosts' zero and followed up by beating 10-man Scotland 3-0 and Slovenia 2-1.
Another comfortable victory is expected on matchday four as North Macedonia have had just one shot on target in three games.
They lost 2-0 at home to Scotland on Saturday and would have suffered a heavier defeat but for some sloppy finishing from the visitors.
North Macedonia were thrashed 7-1 by Wales in their last group fixture in World Cup qualifying before a 4-0 play-off semi-final defeat to Denmark in March.
They also lost 4-0 to Turkey in a June friendly and that correct score is worth a bet on their trip to Switzerland.
Alternative Bet: Bojan Ilievski to be booked @ 13/8
Switzerland's Nations League opponents have struggled to keep their discipline and it could be a similar story on Tuesday.
Scotland centre-back Jack Hendry was sent off in the 11th minute against the Swiss on matchday two and four of Slovenia's back five were booked in Saturday's defeat in Lucerne.
Right-back Bojan Ilievski was one of three North Macedonia players cautioned in their opener against Switzerland and he may well pick up another card in the return fixture.
Ilievski, booked in his last Albanian top-flight outing for Tirana, faces a tricky match-up against in-form Swiss winger Dan Ndoye.
Switzerland v North Macedonia Bet Builder Tip
Enis Bardhi to be booked
Switzerland-Switzerland Half Time/Full Time
Under 0.5 North Macedonia goals
Pays 27/4
North Macedonia midfielder Enis Bardhi looks a leading card candidate in Tuesday's game. He was cautioned in the home defeat to Switzerland on matchday one and has picked up a yellow and a red card in his last two Super Lig appearances for Konyaspor.
Switzerland have been leading 2-0, 1-0 and 2-1 at half-time in their first three Nations League games and they should make another fast start in Lucerne.
Under 0.5 North Macedonia goals is the final leg of the Bet Builder. They have scored in only one of their last nine internationals and failed to register a shot on target in Nations League defeats to Switzerland and Scotland.
