Denis Zakaria was recalled into the Swiss squad and could make a start against Czech Republic, alongside the usual candidates in midfield. Switzerland will be missing star centre back Manuel Akanji after he picked up a second yellow card in the win vs Spain, in which he scored in. Ricardo Rodriguez was taken off at half time against Spain, so potentially might not start. Czech Republic will be without centre back Jakub Brabec, after he went off with an injury in the 4-0 defeat to Portugal.
Switzerland will be full of confidence after a well deserved win against Spain, which was only the second time Spain had lost at home in almost 20 years. The loss of Manuel Akanji will be a worry after a well assured performance in that game. The Czech Republic suffered a heavy defeat in their last outing, losing 4-0 to Portugal at home. It would be expected that they would put in a better performance against the Swiss, especially as they were not that different from Portugal stats wise, and it may have been a case of the star quality they were up against. This match has significant importance as it will ultimately decide on which side will face relegation from League A. Switzerland will have the upper hand as a draw will be enough for them to avoid the drop and if they are able to match the determined performance from the other night vs Spain, than they should be able to secure the win. 2:0
