Best World Cup long shot bets: Don’t count out Switzerland
The World Cup is just around the corner. Switzerland is a long shot but don't count them out.
Switzerland is a long shot to make it to the World Cup semifinals. The Netherlands is primed to dominate the group stage and Paulo Dybala could be flying under the radar for Argentina.
Switzerland has never reached the semifinals in its World Cup history. The Swiss are in a group with Brazil, Serbia and Cameroon. They are expected to finish second behind Brazil. If they come second, they will play either Portugal or Uruguay in the quarterfinals. Switzerland has a perfect blend of veteran leadership and young talent.
Netherlands is one of the favourites to win the World Cup. It has to play against Qatar, Senegal and Ecuador in Group A. The Dutch are an elite offensive team.
Dybala is favourite to lead Argentina in goals at the World Cup. He scored 15 goals in 39 games for Juventus last season and seven in 12 games this year for Roma.
