The United States national team looks to stop a poor run of form as the Americans host Switzerland in an international friendly in Nashville on Tuesday night.
Mauricio Pochettino has now lost three straight at the helm of the USMNT after falling 2-1 to Turkey on Saturday. The Swiss are ranked 20th in the FIFA world rankings, and look much improved in 2025 as they defeated Mexico 4-2 at the weekend.
My USA vs. Switzerland predictions and free betting picks for Tuesday, June 10, look at the away side and explain why they’re likely to put multiple shots into the back of the net.
USA vs Switzerland picks and predictions
My USA vs Switzerland best bet: Switzerland team total Over 1.5 goals (+116 at FanDuel)
When writing the preview for the USA vs. Turkey at the weekend, I nearly gave out Turkey to score two or more goals for the best bet. That’s because the Americans are struggling to defend. I instead went with the Turkish ML, given they were likely to win, and the odds were so much higher.
But that’s not the case here, as the Swiss ML is priced at or below the goal total. So we’re going to stick with what many of their strongest opponents have done of late, bagging multiple goals in the match.
The USMNT gave up two goals inside three minutes, one of them being a horrifically bad own goal that only wasn’t because Johnny Cardoso kicked the ball right into an attacker’s knee. And Turkey easily could’ve scored three or four, had Arda Guler not skied a sitter, and another shot near the goal been crucially blocked.
Switzerland comes off a match where they scored four goals against Mexico, putting six of their 15 efforts on target. They did this despite an xG of just 1.76 on the day. This is similar to their three-goal output on just 1.97 xG against Luxembourg in their previous match in March.
The Swiss have a rock in midfield in Granit Xhaka, a player who is adept at winning the ball and launching a counter-attack. With the likes of Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye bursting through the middle, and Fabian Rieder and Remo Freuler causing problems on the wings, they are set up to create mismatch nightmares for an American defense that looked lost at times against Turkey.
Adding to their issues, Pochettino confirmed on Monday afternoon that Tyler Adams will miss the match. This leaves them a body short at the base of the midfield, and possibly without the best ball-winner in the squad. He came off the bench in the second half and solidified the American midfield, and was expected to start on Tuesday.
The Yanks have now conceded multiple goals in consecutive matches, and have coughed up at least two goals in their last four matches against teams ranked inside the Top 30 of the FIFA world rankings. Take the Swiss to utilize their pace to cut through the Americans and once again punish whichever underperforming keeper is in net.

Breel Embolo to score
30% boost available
The Americans showed me little on Saturday to make me believe they have what it takes to beat the Swiss. Their lack of finishing chances and preventing balls into dangerous areas is of real concern, and the visitors are a bad matchup for them.
Embolo has scored in consecutive games for his national side, and is a number 10 with speed and exciting ability. He’s going to be a problem on the counter attack and as a runner into the box on crosses. He opened the scoring against Mexico and is a solid price to score again here.
