SWITZERLAND vs CYPRUS 1 - 0

Switzerland top World Cup qualifying Group E at the halfway stage and Ottmar Hitzfeld’s side will look to further enhance their chances of participating in next summer’s showpiece event in Brazil when they take on struggling Cyprus on Saturday afternoon. The Swiss are unbeaten in qualifying so far, having won three and drawn two of their five fixtures thus far and are, unsurprisingly, chalked up as red-hot 1/7 (1.14) favourites with William Hill to claim another three points when they host Nikos Nioplias’ side this weekend.
