Sweden will be a strong favourite against a Swiss side that has yet to score in seven attempts in 2022. But with the anticipation comes the pressure: can Blågult shake off the limitations they faced in their first cautious draw against the Dutch champions? They will certainly have to be wary of Switzerland’s quick start after Nielsen’s side took a 2-0 lead in five minutes against Portugal on Saturday before falling behind, a real effect on their hopes.

Journalists’ opinions
Alexandra Johnson, Swedish journalist
After the draw with the Netherlands, there is a lot of pressure on Sweden to not only win but also to make a statement against Switzerland. After all, they did not hesitate to express their intention to win this tournament. Stina Blackstenius must be ready to play from the start, to secure more offensive threats to Switzerland. Sweden will also be looking to build on their set-piece strength, having struggled to turn things around against the Dutch.
Judith Tufensamer, Swiss journalist
The disappointment surrounding the draw against Portugal is palpable, especially as Switzerland initially led with two goals after a great start. Against Sweden, Nati now faces a much stronger opponent and will have to find a way to eliminate their possession weaknesses if they are to refute their underdog position. However, with Sweden’s opening game ending in a draw, both teams are under pressure and Switzerland must feel there is still something to play for in the group.

View from the camps
Switzerland coach Nils Nielsen“We’re still in the tournament, but we need to score points in the next two games to keep going. But we also have to play better. Why did we lose so many balls after going 2-0 up? I don’t know. We had problems with passing fast enough and Portugal were faster and pressed We “.
