France are slated to face Switzerland in their round of 16 encounter in the UEFA Euro 2020 on Tuesday at the National Arena, in Bucharest, Romania. The game promises to be a tactical one between the two strong sides. Les Blues after a hard fought 1-0 win over Germany in the Group F openerwere held to back-to-back draws by Hungary (1-1) and Portugal (2-2). However, they finished first in the group of death (Group F) and progressed into the knockout rounds.
Meanwhile, the Swiss were off to an underwhelming start in Group A, playing a 1-1 draw with Wales before they were handsomely beaten by Italy 3-0. Vladimir Petkovic’s men made a surprise comeback by winning 3-1 against Turkey and managed to qualify as one of the four best third-placed outfits.
Reigning World Champions France will be hoping to book a place in the quarter-final of the European Championships, while Switzerland will aim to produce a shock of epic proportions as they gear up for tonight’s clash.
The France vs Switzerland game is scheduled to start at 12:30 am (IST).
