Prediction: Switzerland 2-0 Greece
Switzerland showed mighty promise and made quiet an impression in the Euro 2020 and we expect another strong performance against Greece as they head in as favourites.
Greece have got players but haven’t been tested to their ability and could find it tough against a top Swiss side.
Players to watch out for: Sommer, Shaqiri, Gavranovic, Masouras and Papadopoulos.
