- The Swiss have no stand-out star heading into the Euro 2020 but have plenty of experience and quality individuals to see them through in a balanced group.
- Grant Xhaka and Shaqiri are the stand-out names to look upon with young explosive Embolo expected to have the much-needed pace on the flanks.
- There are negatives though as the Swiss – now ranked 13th in the world – have seen in a different form in the opening game of their four European Championship appearances to date (W1, D2, L1), and they’re winless in their last ten internationals vs countries currently ranked 18th or better (D4, L6 – includes penalty shoot-outs).

Switzerland coach believes the opening game against Wales is key for a side hampered by injuries and a lack of match fitness.
Wales are well aware if they are to qualify into the next round then they can’t afford to lose this one as this match looks the easiest at least on paper.
That said, we expect a close affair with a draw looking like the most likely outcome.
