Why you should back Switzerland
The Swiss are making their third consecutive trip to the knockout stage after failing to advance in their first three appearances in the tournament. They are riding a seven-game unbeaten streak across all competitions (3-4-0) and have lost just one of their 17 matches since falling to Portugal in the 2022 World Cup Round of 16. Midfielder Michel Aebischer was instrumental in the club's 3-1 triumph over Hungary in their group-stage opener, assisting on forward Kwadwo Duah's goal in the 12th minute before recording one of his own in the 45th minute.
Forward Breel Embolo capped the scoring during stoppage time in his first outing with the national team since the World Cup. Winger Xherdan Shaqiri earned Switzerland a point when he erased a deficit in the 26th minute of their 1-1 draw with Scotland, while forward Dan Ndoye converted against Germany in their 1-1 draw.
