France go head-to-head with Switzerland in the round of 16 at Euro 2020 on Monday night, as Didier Deschamps’ team try to go a step closer to a World Cup-Euros double.
Having become world champions in Russia three years ago, the French came into this summer’s rescheduled tournament as favourites, and they did well to qualify top of Group F – the ‘group of death’ with Germany, Portugal and Hungary.

Switzerland, meanwhile, secured their spot in the knockout rounds by qualifying as one of the four best third-placed finishers. The Swiss were third in Group A, behind leaders Italy – who beat Austria in the last 16 on Saturday – and Wales, who were eliminated in the round of 16 with a 4-0 defeat by Denmark.
France will be heavily favoured in Bucharest here, but anything can happen in knockout football.
