Switzerland and Sweden Clash in World Cup Qualifiers This Weekend

GENEVA, Switzerland — The Switzerland national football team is set to face off against Sweden in a crucial World Cup European qualifiers match at Stade de Genève on Sunday, November 16, 2025, at 1:15 a.m. IST.

Switzerland, currently at the top of Group B, has displayed strong form, winning three out of their last four qualifying matches. They have accumulated 10 points thus far, while Sweden finds themselves struggling at the bottom of the group with just one point from four matches.

The Swiss team boasts an impressive record, scoring nine goals and conceding none in their qualifying campaign so far. In contrast, Sweden has scored only twice and conceded seven goals, making their path to qualification daunting.

Switzerland’s confidence is bolstered by a formidable defensive setup that has kept five consecutive clean sheets. Under the guidance of coach Murat Yakin, the team seeks to solidify their position as they aim for a sixth consecutive World Cup appearance.

On the player front, Switzerland will miss midfielder Luca Jacquez due to injury, while Ricardo Rodriguez is also doubtful. The team will look to Granit Xhaka to anchor the midfield and to attackers like Breel Embolo and Ruben Vargas to deliver goals.

For Sweden, the pressure mounts as they remain winless in this campaign. Despite their current challenges, new coach Graham Potter hopes to reverse their fortunes after replacing Jon Dahl Tomasson, who was dismissed following a poor run of results.

Key players for Sweden, like Anthony Elanga and Roony Bardghji, need to step up to avoid further embarrassment. With injuries hampering their squad, Sweden will do their best to restore some pride in this encounter.

Historically, matches between these two teams have been closely contested, leaving fans eager to see if Switzerland can extend their winning streak.

The match will be broadcast live on Prime Video in the United Kingdom and on Disney+, Fox Sports, and Fubo TV in the USA. Fans can also tune in via Sony LIV and Sony Sports Network in India.

As anticipation grows for this exciting clash, Switzerland appears poised to secure yet another victory against the struggling Swedish side.
