Despite being currently ranked inside the top 20 nations in the world (as per FIFA's recent list) and boasting a wealth of talent, Switzerland have not fared well at Euro tournaments. La Nati didn't even make the 2012 edition, and in 2008, crashed out of the group stages when they were acting as hosts.
In fact, the team, who are also known as the Schweizer Nati, have featured at three past Euro competitions, and to date, have never cleared the group stage. Currently in Group A, with hosts France, debutants Albania, and Romania, Switzerland have a very good chance at finally overcoming this hurdle at this summer's big event - with Les Bleus really representing the only major challenge for Vladimir Petković's men.
Well. Switzerland are leaving nothing to chance, as first-time participants Albania will want to make a big splash in their opening act on the international stage. Heading into Euro 2016, Switzerland will be keen on getting back on track, as they have lost all their friendlies since the start of 2016. In fact, the team have not won a match since edging out Austria on November 17th and with less than two weeks to go, Petković will be demanding a much-improved performance from his side.
Fortunately for them, their upcoming opponents - Moldova - should provide them with that springboard Switzerland need to regain their confidence. The minnows, ranked at 156th in the world, have never qualified for a major international tournament and finished rock bottom in their Euro 2016 qualifying group. 2016 has been a year of mixed fortunes for the visitors, who saw their unbeaten run ended by Croatia - another Euro 2016 participant - in their most recent friendly.
