Euro 2020: SUI vs TUR Preview

By Parameswaran Sankaranarayanan June 19, 2021

After going winless in the opening two matches, Switzerland (SUI) will be desperate for three points when they meet Turkey (TUR) tonight. The Granit Xhaka-led team is unlikely to finish runners-up in Group A as Wales has four points and can seal a second spot with a draw against Italy. But they could qualify to the last 16 as one of the best third-placed teams.

Turkey, too, has an outside chance of finishing in the top four of the best third-placed teams. They have to beat Switzerland and hope the Croatia-Scotland match ends in a draw, while Spain must lose to Slovakia and Poland should drop points against Sweden.
