Football gnomes of Switzerland to do well

The Swiss national team to score in their last two qualification games for the Euro 2020 Georgia and Gibraltar. To qualify under its own power, it needs four points – a manageable task. A look at the Fifa world rankings confirmed this assumption. The opponent Friday (20.45 clock), Georgia, is ranked 90, and Gibraltar, cutting off with a ranking of 196 even worse.

Against the teams in this ranking of 90 or behind them, Switzerland has made recently a good experience. Under the Aegis of Vladimir Petkovic, since 2014, she met 18 times on such teams. 17 games were won. The only game lost was exactly one year and one day in Lugano against Qatar with the score 0:1.

what is Surprising is that the national team against football dwarfs not made really more goals than against other, much more prestigious opponents. 51 goals scored by the player, which corresponds to an average of 2.8 goals per game. Since Vladimir Petkovic is the coach, shoot, Switzerland, on average, exactly two goals in a game. So this is not even a goal any more than usual. In defense of the team shows against football dwarf is much more stable. Only all five games they conceded a goal. This is likely to be rather on the inability of the enemy's attack than solid defence. Because you analyzed all of the 58 games under Petkovic, does this significantly weaker. A section bears witness of 1.1 goals per 90 minutes.

at the Top of the scorers list of the games against the Small number 9, Haris Seferovic, with six goals, together with Liverpool-Legionnaire's Xherdan Shaqiri. They are followed by Blerim Dzemaili, who no longer appears but is in the squad. In total, there are twenty players for the over fifty goals responsible. This speaks to the offensive style of play and the strong collective of the Swiss.

Shaqiri is also assist donors at the top. With six goal assists he is in front of Drmic, Dzemaili, Embolo and warping, which are all equipped with four Assists. Overall, almost as many Assist sensor (19) goal scorers (20) are. Otherwise, the national team scored goals four times by a single-action, six times from eleven meters (equal to three piece at the 7:0 victory against San Marino), and three times they benefited from own goals.

are So flattering, these statistics also, on the grass they are zero value. Add to this that Switzerland, too, was once such a football dwarf, and the not too long ago. About twenty years ago, the Swiss national football team is ranked on rank 83. Since then, she has worked to the top. Switzerland wants to remain in this region Table, she does it well, the two games against Georgia and Gibraltar are not to underestimate. Because the path from the top to a soccer dwarf can go fast.
