Road to the Euro
Hungary reached Euro 2024 after winning Group G undefeated, following five victories.
Marco Rossi’s team defeated Serbia, Montenegro, Lithuania and Bulgaria.
Switzerland, on the other hand, finished second in Group I, behind Romania.
The Swiss overcame Israel, Belarus, Kosovo and Andorra in the qualifying round.
Team News
Both teams do not appear to be dealing with late injury issues ahead of their Euro 2024 opener in Germany.
Hungary will be able to count on players such as RB Leipzig’s Peter Gulacsi, his teammate Willi Orban, Freiburg’s Roland Sallai, Ferencvaros’ Barnabas Varga and Hajduk Split’s Laszlo Kleinheisler.
Switzerland coach Murat Yakin has a golden generation at his disposal, which includes players such as Borussia Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel, Inter Milan’s Yann Sommer and Monaco’s Breel Embolo.
Those to watch
Hungary captain Dominik Szoboszlai has enjoyed an impressive campaign at Liverpool.
Szoboszlai, 23, joined the Reds last summer from RB Leipzig in a £60m deal.
The midfielder racked up a total of seven goals and four assists in 45 appearances in his first campaign at Anfield.
The Hungarian star also scored 12 goals in 42 caps for the national team.
Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka also had an impressive debut campaign at Bayer Leverkusen, which he led to their first Bundesliga title.
Xhaka helped Leverkusen win their first domestic double after an incredible unbeaten run that saw Xabi Alonso’s side lose just once in the Europa League final against Atalanta.
The midfielder has scored four goals and two assists in 50 appearances this season.
This comes after the Arsenal hero’s 14 goals in 125 caps for the Swiss national team.
