We bring to your attention the announcement of the play-off match of the European Championship.

France v Switzerland Monday 28 June 22:00. Bucharest, Arena National. main referee of the meeting - Fernando Andres Rapallini (Argentina). TV Broadcast - Football 1.2; TRK Ukraine.

The world champions in the 1/8 finals will test their strength against the background of a more modest rival - the Swiss national team, which in this pair looks like an obvious outsider.

The French have issued the strongest first match of the group stage. Having beaten Germany 1: 0, although this score was absolutely out of play, since two goals from France were not counted, many thought that Hungary and Portugal would not have any chances. However, everything turned out to be not so simple.. After a draw against Hungary (1: 1), Mbappe and company gave a spectacular draw against Portugal (2: 2), but this did not prevent them from breaking through further.

The rival got a checkpoint and, if a miracle does not happen, France will be in the quarter-finals. But if the factor of underestimating the opponent is triggered, everything may turn out not in favor of Deschamps' team.

Switzerland played poorly in the group stage. First, the team shared the points with Wales, then failed miserably in the match with Italy, losing with a crushing score of 3: 0. Everything was decided in the last round, where they were opposed by the Turkish national team - the weakest team of the tournament in terms of the game. And there the most important victory was obtained, which brought Switzerland to the French..

Let's be frank. The chances of Petkovic's charges are very small, if not at all. However, it's real to go out and try to show your game.. If it is important for France to get rid of underestimation, then Switzerland should not be afraid of a formidable rival..

Tentative squads France: Lloris - Varane, Langle, Kimpembe - Pavar, Pogba, Kante, Griezmann, Rabiot - Mbappe, Benzema Switzerland: Sommer - Elvedi, Akandji, Rodriguez - Widmer, Freuler, Jaka, Zuber - Shakiri - Embolo, Seferovic What they said.

" We cannot underestimate them.. This is a playoff match, so we must do our best to have smiles on our faces at the end of the match..

The heat in Budapest took its toll on us. We had an extra day between matches - five, not four.

But our rivals had eight days, which is much better. It's hot here too, but still a little easier "

" Everyone thinks that France will win, and this is our advantage. We won't have many chances, and when we have, we definitely need to score. "

Brel Embolo, Switzerland forward:.

" The main thing is to go to the next stage.. Overall, I am satisfied with our attitude.. We have a very good team. Even in qualifying, everyone acted as one. "

forecast 2: 0.
