Switzerland vs France match preview
Will France get the result they need to book their quarter-final spot, rubber stamping top spot in the process?
Sylvain Ripoll’s team currently have maximum points on the board, first beating Italy 2-1, with Arnaud Kalimuendo and then Bradley Barcola the scorers at Cluj Arena.
Then, on Sunday, just one goal was enough to see les Bleuets defeat Norway, with Michael Olise the match-winner, side-footing home at the back-post after Kalimuendo had flicked on a cross.
Surprisingly, France haven’t won this tournament since 1988, Éric Cantona in their team back then, but have to be amongst the favourites to go all the way this summer.
Just a point here for les Espoirs will see them qualify in first place, while defeat could see them eliminated.
Switzerland meantime start the night in third, so will feel they simply have to win, even if that’s not strictly the case.
In that one, Rossocrociati actually found themselves 3-0 down by half time, before Imeri again and Zeki Amdouni pulled it back to 3-2 by the 52nd minute, both with spectacular strikes.
However, the Swiss had left themselves too much too do, so could not complete a full-scale remontada in Cluj-Napoca.
So, Switzerland will get through with a draw, but only if Norway beat Italy simultaneously.
A win will see the Swiss qualify, as group winners, if Italy fail to win.
It both the Swiss and the Italians are victorious, the Franch will miss out on the quarter-final spot, but only if both were to win by 2+ goals.
Fans of permutations, look no further than Group D, but all of those may become irrelevant if France do the business at Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu.
Switzerland team news
Having scored three times for the senior team earlier this month, Zeki Amdouni did not feature in Switzerland’s group opener, before starting and scoring on Sunday.
Kastriot Imeri, who’s scored in both matches so far, and Dan Ndoye, who’s netted at two different editions of the U21 Euros, are also worth keeping an eye out for.
France team news
Amine Adli will miss this clash suspended, having been booked in both matches so far.
Loïc Badé is back following a one-match suspension of his own, so could return to partner Pierre Kalulu at centre-back, with Mohamed Simakan missing out.
