The National Arena in Bucharest will serve as the host for the sixth round of 16 match between France and Switzerland on 29th June 2021 at 00:30 IST. The odds are clearly favoring the French side to make it to the knockouts.

Teams Status

France

France were put in the group of death with the likes of Portugal, Germany and Hungary. But they still managed to top the group with five points from three matches. They won one match and drew two matches. Their first match was against Germany and they came out all guns blazing but could score only one goal as two of their other goals were disallowed. Then they were held to a 1-1 draw by Hungary. After that, France had to settle for another draw against Portugal. They have scored four goals in the tournament and have conceded just three goals. Karim Benzema is the team’s leading goal scorer with two goals and Antoine Griezmann has chipped in with a solitary goal. Didier Deschamps has all the players at his disposal to opt-in for the next match against Switzerland.

Switzerland

Switzerland on the other hand finished as one of the four best third placed teams despite finishing on level terms with Wales. They were in Group A consisting of Italy, Wales and Turkey. They opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Wales, where Switzerland looked like a better team but could not capitalize. Then they went on to lose to Italy by a 3-0 margin, which dented their goal difference. Finally, in the last group stage match, they got their first win of the Euros. In the campaign, they have scored four goals but conceded five goals. The team’s goal scoring list is led by the veteran Xherdan Shaqiri with two goals. Their strikers Haris Seferovic and Breel Embolo have chipped in with one goal each. The midfielder Steven Zuber leads the assists list with as many as three assists. Petkovic might consider fielding the same XI that defeated Turkey.

Tipster’s Angle

By considering the form of these teams recently, France has a better edge over Switzerland to win the match. Also, this could be a high scoring game as Switzerland concedes a lot of goals and France have been scoring a lot.

Tip: France To Win @ 1.55

France are unbeaten in the last six matches that they have played against Switzerland, including four draws and two wins. And both the French wins came in competitive tournaments. Even France won the last match these two teams played in the European Championship. In the last ten matches that France has played across competitions, they have won seven and drew three matches. Also, they are unbeaten in the Euros this season so far. In the last ten matches that Switzerland has played across competitions, they have won seven, drew two and lost one match. They have just one win in the Euros so far. So, it is likely that France will emerge victorious at 1.55 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 2.10

In the last two head to head matches, a total of 7 goals were scored at an average of 3.5 goals per match. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in one of those two matches. In the last head to head match played in Euros, four goals were scored in that match. In the last nine matches that France had played across competitions, over 2.5 goals were scored in four of those matches. In the last ten matches that Switzerland had played across competitions, over 2.5 goals were scored in seven of those matches. Also, over 2.5 goals were scored in the last match that these two teams played in the group stages of this European Championship. So, it is very likely that this will be a high scoring fixture and over 2.5 goals will be scored at 2.10 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

The World Champions are likely to advance to the quarterfinals with a dominating win over Switzerland. Also, they would want to go one better than last season where they lost in the finals against Portugal.
