Switzerland vs Algeria Betting Tips & Predictions - Switzerland backed to see off Algeria in Round of 32
Switzerland and Algeria meet in the World Cup 2026, with Switzerland favored due to strong recent form and Algeria's defensive vulnerabilities. Switzerland has been confident throughout the group stage, with rising star Johan Manzambi scoring three goals in two matches. Algeria, meanwhile, struggled in defense, conceding seven times in three outings and barely made the playoffs. Predicted lineups show both sides near full strength; however, the recommendation is to back Switzerland for the win and Manzambi as a likely scorer.
- Switzerland in strong form, winning last 2 matches.
- Algeria struggled defensively, conceding 7 in 3 games.
- Manzambi is tipped to score, Switzerland favored to win.

Switzerland vs Algeria Predicitons
Algeria have not been their solid selves at the World Cup while Switzerland, who had one blip in the group stages, have been confident. I am backing the Swiss to see this one through.

Head to Head
Switzerland have won both previous games against Algeria but those fixtures took place in the 80s.
Switzerland Form
Switzerland kicked off the World Cup 2026 with a disappointing 1-1 draw against Qatar. The Red Crosses had a strong start, Breel Embolo converting a penalty in the 17th minute and pretty much controlled everything (3.20-0.60 xG, 68% possession and 26-6 shots) but conceded deep in stoppage time.
Murat Yakin’s side needed 74 minutes to crack Bosnia & Herzegovina’s defence in the second round, with Johan Manzambi scoring the opener just three minutes after coming on as a substitute. They went on to win 4-1, while Ruben Vargas and Granit Xhaka also got on the scoresheet. Manzambi added his second goal in stoppage time.
Third round clash against Canada was basically battle for 1st place which Switzerland won 2-1. Youngster Manzambi played key role here, netting one goal and providing an assist for Ruben Vargas.
Algeria Form
Besides an early goal of Fares Chaibi which was disallowed by VAR, Algeria haven’t shown anything in their opening match against Argentina, suffering a well-deserved 3-0 loss here, posting just 0.33 xG and firing zero shots on target.
Start of the second round clash against underdog Jordan was also far from impressive, trailing by one goal at the break but eventually pulled a comeback and won 2-1 thanks to goals scored by Nadir Benbouali and Amine Gouiri.
Algeria needed one point in the final round against Switzerland to secure playoffs and ultimately settled for a 3-3 draw, conceding third goal deep in stoppage time but considering all stats and chances, it was a fair outcome. Veteran Riyad Mahrez netted a brace here.
Switzerland vs Algeria News & Predicted Lineups
Switzerland (4-2-3-1) Gregor Kobel; Silvan Widmer, Manuel Akanji, Nico Elvedi, Ricardo Rodriguez; Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka; Dan Ndoye, Johan Manzambi, Ruben Vargas; Breel Embolo
Midfielder Miro Muheim fully recovered from a brief calf issue and was present in training. Johan Manzambi's form has been phenomenal so I expect them to be in the starting lineup here.

Algeria (4-3-3) Luca Zidane; Rafik Belghali, Ramy Bensebaini, Aissa Mandi, Rayan Ait-Nouri; Ramiz Zerrouki, Hicham Boudaoui, Ibrahim Maza; Riyad Mahrez, Mohamed Amoura, Amine Gouiri
Riyad Mahrez had some fitness problems early in the tournament but the latest reports state he is ready for at least 90 minutes here. He is currently at two goals and two assists at the World Cup 2026.

Verdict
Switzerland are an interesting mix of talented and experienced players, very disciplined defensively. I will back them to exploit Algeria’s awful back line and win here in regular time. Rising star Johan Manzambi is also tipped to score.
