Switzerland will put their 100% record on the line as they host Romania in a Group I fixture in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers. The Swiss are having an impressive campaign and should be too strong for the visitors who have been poor away from home.
Switzerland have made a flying start to the qualifying campaign and are well on course to progressing to the tournament in France. They have won their opening three fixtures and are two points clear at the top the standings.
The Swiss head into Monday’s clash off the back of a 2-1 victory over Andorra in their previous qualifying fixture. They went into the break with a two-goal goal lead thanks to efforts from Remo Freuler and Zeki Amdouni and were able to hold on for the win despite the hosts pulling one back.
The goals have flowed freely for Switzerland, who have found the net 10 times in just three qualifying matches. Murat Yakin’s men will also be counting on a solid home record having won their last three matches in front of their fans.
Romania dropped points for the first time in the qualifiers as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Kosovo last time out. Both teams were evenly matched throughout the encounter, although the Romanians were guilty of missing a few goalscoring opportunities.
While it was a disappointing result in Kosovo, Romania remain unbeaten in the qualifiers having begun their campaign with two straight wins. They are second on the standings and well on course to securing automatic qualification alongside Switzerland.
The result in Kosovo highlights Romania’s inconsistency on their recent travels. Edward Iordanescu’s men may have rolled over minnows like Moldova and Andora but they have fallen short when facing the likes of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Finland.
