Group A is almost set in stone. Italy have qualified while Wales have hit the magic four-point mark. Those two nations face off in Rome knowing that a draw will confirm their current places in the group.
That leaves Switzerland and Turkey to face off in Baku. The Swiss have a one-point advantage and can still clinch a top-two spot. They need to win this match and for Wales to lose heavily enough to alter the five-goal swing. Turkey can still technically get through in third place but they need a big win here.
It’s been a while since these sides last met. Switzerland and Turkey were also drawn together in Group A of Euro 2008. The Swiss were co-hosts that year but exited in the group stage. They lost 2-1 to Turkey who made it to the semi-finals. They’ve only met three times in the last 25 years. Turkey won two of those matches after falling behind.
This match may be decided in wide areas. Switzerland play a more possession-based game than their opponents. They completed 87.5% of their passes in their opening two fixtures compared to Turkey’s 82%.
But both sides choose to attack the flanks. They both attempted 37 crosses in their opening two matches. 13 of those were successful. That’s almost twice as many as group rivals Italy who saw more possession and scored more goals.
The Swiss are the favourites to secure the win. It’s 1.66 for Switzerland to secure three vital points and give themselves a chance of finishing in the top two. It’s 4.00 for a draw and 5.00 for Turkey to win.

Backing more goals in the second halves of matches is the way to go at Euro 2020. Group A alone has seen two first-half goals and eight in the second half. Expect both sides to open up after the break as they chase the goals they need to qualify.
Breel Embolo is the biggest threat for Switzerland. He’s scored their only goal in the competition so far and is a decent bet to do it again. He’s had an average of 3.00 shots per match so far.
Burak Yilmaz has been at the centre of things for Turkey. He was involved in 50% of Turkey’s 18 shots against Wales. Only one of his six attempts was on target but surely that will change.
