Football Bet of the Day: Switzerland to starve Hungary of goals

Switzerland v Hungary
Saturday 19:45 (Live on Sky Sports Red Button)

Austria 3 Serbia 2 in Vienna last night. The hosts are still eliminated from Russia 2018 - thanks to victories for Wales and the Republic of Ireland - but we march on.

To Switzerland, where the hosts are odds-on favourites to maintain their perfect Group B record when they meet Hungary tonight. Despite their fine campaign, the Swiss could still use a win to give them the plumpest possible cushion going into their final match with second-placed Portugal, who are just three points behind them.

Vladimir Petkovic's men have won their first four home qualifiers by a combined 8-0 and it's that spotless clean-sheet record giving us an idea for today's bet. Since a 2-0 defeat to England three years ago, the Swiss have shut out their guests in 7/8 competitive home games.

Hungary, who are already out of contention for Russia next year, have failed to score on 3/4 Group B away days so far. That record includes an embarrassing goalless draw at the Faroes and an even worse 1-0 defeat at Andorra.
