Switzerland will go head-to-head with Lewandowski and Co. in their first match of Euro 2016 round of 16 at Geoffroy-Guichard. The Swiss qualified for the knockout stage finishing as runners-up in Group A. They kicked-off their UEFA Euro campaign in a strong manner, as they beat Albania 1-0 in their opening game. Vladimir Petkovic’s men were then held to a 1-1 draw with Romania in Paris. In their final group stage match, they faced hosts France but failed to bag a victory, as the game ended in a scoreless draw.
Although they got to the last 16 without losing any of their games, they must display a perfect performance to stand a chance against Poland.
Meanwhile, Poland cruised to the second round of this top-flight tournament as runners-up of Group C behind 2014 World Cup winners Germany. Adam Nawałka’s crew progressed to the knockout stage with style, remaining unbeaten and maintaining a clean sheet in each of their three games. Furthermore, Poland’s ace Robert Lewandowski will be hungry to score goals against Switzerland, as he has yet to score in this competition.
Team news - who's fit and who's not?
Switzerland has slight concerns on the fitness situation of Admir Mehmedi after the 25-year-old forward picked up muscular problems during the team's training. However, he is expected to be fit in time to feature against Poland.
In Poland’s camp, goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is set to miss out on this match due to a thigh injury he suffered during their opening match against Northern Ireland. 31-year-old Swansea City keeper Lukasz Fabianski is expected to take his place in goal. In addition, the White Eagles will be without Bartosz Kapustka, as he serves a one-match suspension after being issued his second yellow card of the tournament against Ukraine.
Head to head:
-
In their last four matches, Switzerland has clinched one win, two draws, and one loss
-
Poland has reached three wins, one draw and one loss in their last five games
-
Adam Nawałka’s men have bagged seven goals in their last six official appearances
-
The last meeting between these two sides was in November 2014 and it ended in a 2-2 draw
