France faces Switzerland in the Euro 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Monday, June 28th at Arena Națională (Bucharest)
France finished in 1st place in Group F, unofficially called the "group of death" due to the composition of the teams. The reigning world champions defeated Germany (1-0) and then tied against Hungary (1-1) and Portugal (2-2), gaining a total of five points. The French have achieved leadership in the quartet through disciplined and pragmatic play. In the match against the Germans, the Blues acted according to the score, and after Mats Hummels' own goal they did not give up the advantage. In the second match of the group, Deschamps' team snatched a draw from a strong and motivated opponent (Hungary), which was supported by the native stands. In the last game against Portugal, the French could defeat the opponent after Karim Benzema's brace, but the reigning European champions twice converted a penalty through Ronaldo's efforts and avoided defeat. The game turned out to be tense and cautious, despite the score. Three out of four goals were scored from the spot.

Switzerland took 3rd place in Group A with four points. The Red Crosses shared points with Wales (1-1), lost to the Italians (0-3), and beat Turkey (3-1). The Swiss national team showed good results in the group stage, failing only the match against Italy, which gained momentum and played at their home stadium in Rome. In the game against Wales, Petkovic's men did not have enough luck. Surpassing the British in the number of scoring chances and having a territorial advantage, the Red Crosses conceded a goal after a rare attack of the Welsh national team. The game against the Turks in Baku turned out to be more successful. The Swiss seized the initiative right after the starting whistle and were leading by 2 goals by the 26th minute through the efforts of Haris Seferovic and Xerdan Shakiri. Having conceded the only goal from the Turks in the 62nd minute, the Red Crosses regained the advantage through the efforts of Shakiri, who scored a brace.
The French show a faded game at the Euro, but this did not prevent Deschamps' team from getting out of the group from the 1st place. Switzerland is a convenient opponent for the Blues. The match against the Italians showed that the defense of the Red Crosses is failing in the fight against more powerful and classy opponents. The superiority in level makes the French footballers the favorites of the upcoming game. At the same time, there is no need to expect spectacular football. The French will act pragmatically and will try to achieve results with the least expenditure of effort.
Prediction for the match: France to win and Under 3.5 goals scored
