The national team is entering the final phase of European Championship qualification. Murat Yakin’s team has three games scheduled: Wednesday against Israel (8:45 PM), Saturday against Kosovo (8:45 PM) and Tuesday against Romania (8:45 PM). After a bumpy phase with only one win from the last four matches, everything is now at stake for Switzerland.
The European Championship qualification mission is facilitated by support from Kosovo. Because the ‘Dardanët’, as the team is also called, played their catch-up match against Israel on Sunday evening in Pristina. And they did Switzerland a big favor with a 1-0 win.
Thanks to this result, it is clear: if the national team wins against Israel on Wednesday, second place and therefore the European Championship ticket is secured. A win would leave Switzerland on 18 points with two games remaining – a milestone their pursuers Kosovo and Israel would no longer be able to achieve.
However, things will become critical if Switzerland does not win against Israel. Then not only Israel but also Kosovo will be back in the race. In that case, the subsequent direct match against Kosovo in Basel would be an extremely tough affair. To prevent that, three points are needed on Wednesday in Felcsut, Hungary.
Group victory still open
Even with a victory over Israel, it is far from certain who will win the group. This will most likely only be decided in the direct match on the last matchday between Switzerland and Romania in Bucharest. Switzerland could regain top spot in the group with a win over Israel.
With regard to the final next summer, the question of who will win the group is certainly relevant. Because they are placed in a better draw at the beginning of December than the number two in the group stage. And was able to bypass the really big names. While the number two in the group should expect to be pulled into a hammer group. (sbe)
