Wales faces Switzerland in round 1 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Saturday, June 12th at Baku Olympic Stadium (Baku)
So far, Wales is rather showing its problems than trump cards. To begin with, the team will go to the EURO without a full-fledged head coach. Ryan Giggs set up the “employers” with his scandal. He is still under investigation, but he is not retiring. And the local federation did not dare to fire the legend, who brought the national team to this tournament. Wales managed to outrank Slovakia by one point and take 2nd place in the qualification group. As a result, as in the spring, Robbie Page is actually in charge, but he is only an interim coach. And the results under his management are not impressive. Yes, the Welsh beat the Czech Republic in the qualification for the World Cup and won against Mexico in the spring friendly match. But at the same time, the Dragons suffered a 3-1 defeat in Belgium. And before the Euro, they resignedly received three goals from France by the 79th minute (moreover, Benzema didn’t convert a penalty). Beyond that, Wales could not score even against Albania (0-0).

The national team of Switzerland is approaching the continental tournament in good shape. It continues to confirm its status as a quite strong team. Yes, in the Nations League last year, the Swiss won against the Ukrainians only by default. Before the home decisive match in Luzern, the local doctor sent the Yellow-Blues to quarantine. And this was the only victory of the Red Crosses in 2020. But now Vladimir Petkovic's charges are on a winning streak. They won both matches in the World Cup qualifiers in March (1-3 against Bulgaria and 1-0 versus Lithuania). And then the streak continued in friendly games. The hardest part was in the spring match against Finland, as it even was ahead for some time due to Pohjanpalo’s double. The United States also opened the scoring on May 30, but the Swiss managed to gain a comeback victory thanks to the goals of Rodriguez and Zuber. And finally, the Red Crosses sent seven unanswered goals to the net of Liechtenstein. However, six of them were scored after the break.
Bookmakers believe that both opponents will have a chance of a positive result. And it is desirable to win, as the group is too difficult. The team will have to play against the Turks and powerful Italy. Switzerland looked more convincing in 2021, so let's believe in its victory in the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Switzerland to win
