In the round of 16 of the Euro 2020, France will clash against Switzerland. The victorious team on this match will be progressing to the quarter finals of the tournament. This amazing match is scheduled to kickoff at 22:00 on Monday at the National Arena in Bucharest.

France haven’t really played to their best capability just yet, we are hoping that they have been saving their strength for this time that matters. Switzerland head into this last 16 fixture as the clear underdogs, other than winning over Turkey they don’t look like a team capable of causing a major upset.

It will be an intriguing encounter at a neutral location. The winner in this match will be facing either Spain or Croatia in the quarters. Both teams are coming in strong expecting for win and if they tie they will go all the way to the penalties to settle the score.

France put in a polished performance when kicking off with a win over Germany in Munich but they stuttered a little bit afterwards. Les Bleus struggled with Budapest heat drawing with 1-1 with Hungary and closed with a patchy 2-2 stalemate versus Portugal.

Switzerland started out in group A with a 1-1 draw versus Wales, hammered 3-0 by Italy. But they got back to track after beating Turkey 3-1 with Liverpool playmaker Xherdan Shaqiri hitting a double in Baku.
