Switzerland will invite Estonia to Swissporarena in a friendly on Tuesday. The hosts play Austria in another friendly later this week, before heading to Germany for their UEFA Euro 2024 preparations.
The hosts returned to winning ways after five games in their previous outing, registering a 1-0 away triumph over the Republic of Ireland in a friendly in March, with Xherdan Shaqiri scoring the match's only goal in the 23rd minute.
The visitors have endured a poor run of form and are winless in all competitions since January 2023. They met Finland in a friendly in March, suffering a 2-1 loss, extending their losing streak to five games.

Switzerland vs Estonia Prediction
Rossocrociati have been in good touch recently and have suffered just one loss in their last 12 games in all competitions. They are unbeaten in their last seven home games in all competitions, recording four wins, and are strong favorites.
Sinisärgid are winless in their last 13 games in all competitions, suffering 11 defeats. They have scored just six goals in that period, which is a cause for concern. They have failed to score in four meetings against the hosts and might struggle here.
Considering the hosts' dominance in this fixture and better squad quality, Switzerland are expected to register a comfortable win and the odds of a clean sheet also look good.
Prediction: Switzerland 2-0 Estonia
