Wales v Switzerland Live Commentary, Jun 12, 2021

Switzerland’s European Championship record is fairly poor, having failed to escape the group stages three times before a last-16 loss to Poland in 2016. Despite that, the Swiss come into the tournament in good form, having won six games in a row since holding Spain to a credible 1-1 draw back in November.

After their memorable run to the semi-final stages five years ago, Wales will have ambitions of reaching the knockout stages once more at Euro 2020. A five-game unbeaten run was enough to seal qualification for the tournament as they finished runners-up behind Croatia. However, a 3-0 loss to world champions France and an unconvincing 0-0 draw with Albania hasn’t been the best build-up for this opener.
