Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
As Switzerland gears up to face Colombia in this World Cup clash, keep an eye on Nico Elvedi for the Over 1.5 shots market. While his recent form shows an average of just 0.4 shots at home, there’s something special about the tournament atmosphere that tends to elevate players’ performances. Elvedi, primarily a defender, might surprise us as he looks to capitalize on set pieces or transition play.
With Switzerland likely to control possession, he could find himself in advanced positions. Given that Colombia's defense can be vulnerable, especially in high-pressure situations like these, Elvedi might just take a couple of opportunities to test the Colombian goalkeeper. Plus, while the odds suggest a low expectation, this World Cup stage often brings out the best in players—think of it as a stage for unexpected heroes. With the right conditions, Elvedi could break through and exceed that 1.5 shots mark.
