Last autumn, Switzerland earned fourteen points in six qualifying matches, confidently winning their group. However, in March’s friendlies, their performance was less impressive. First, they lost 3-4 to Germany, then settled for a goalless draw against Norway.
The Jordanian national team confirmed its progress by edging out Iraq by one point in the qualifiers for second place in their group, securing the right to debut at the World Cup. Then, in December, they lost only to Morocco in the final of the Arab Cup. In March, both of their friendlies, against Costa Rica and Nigeria, ended in 2-2 draws.
The Europeans look confident: they score an average of 2.5 goals per game while conceding 0.8. The Middle Eastern side scores 1.8 goals per game and concedes a third less—1.2.
