Having already sealed their spot in the round of 16, UEFA Euro 2016 hosts France are well on their way as they hope to clinch their second title on home soil and third overall this July. However, Les Bleus will want to be wary of a Swiss side desperate for revenge after being humilated by a rampant French side during the 2014 World Cup.
Switzerland
For La Nati, this has been nothing short of a disappointing tournament. Although Switzerland are certainly not out of the running for a round of 16 berth, they were surprisingly given a tough time against 10-man debutants Albania - despite eventually holding out for a 1-0 win. Against Romania, they had to settle for a rather frustrating draw, and whilst third place is all but guaranteed, Vladimir Petkovic's side will be hoping to nick at least a point to ensure a definite spot in the final 16.
Swiss NT boss Vladimir Petkovic will be looking for a much-improved performance from his side this Sunday against France
To date, Switzerland have never been able to clear the group stages and will be able to achieve this for the first time with a draw. However, despite remaining unbeaten so far, Petkovic and his men received a lot of criticism for their insipid showing against Romania - where they appeared to be happy to settle for a point rather than go for the win.
As such, the Sarajevo-born tactician will be demanding a stronger performance as they will have to improve massively if they want to have any shot at progressing at this tournament. Fortunately for the ex-Lazio boss, he so far has no injury concerns to trouble him, meaning that he has everyone at his disposal. And with profligacy being a serious issue, misfiring striker Haris Seferovic could be hauled off in lieu of young starlet Breel Embolo, who at 19 is among the youngest players at this tournament.
France
Meanwhile, Didier Deschamps's men became the first team to book their spot in the round of 16 as they defeated Albania 2-0. Although their opponents are first-time participants in this tournament, they really gave the hosts a hard time and in fact, for most of the match, it seemed like Les Bleus would have to settle for a shock and disappointing draw.
However, it's never over until the refree blows that whistle, and two injury time goals from Antoine Griezmann and Dimitri Payet were enough to give France a last-gasp win and break the hearts of Albanian fans all over the world.

Deschamps received quite a bit of flack for some of his tactical selections - namely leaving Griezmann and Paul Pogba on the bench - and it will be very interesting to see if he starts the Atletico Madrid and Juventus this Sunday. With Olivier Giroud and N'Golo Kante both a booking away from a ban, both players could be left out of the starting XI, giving Andre-Pierre Gignac a possible opportunity to feature from the start.
