Kolkata, June 19: Switzerland and Turkey are set to face off on Sunday (June 20), kicking off the final rounds of the Euro 2020 group stages.
Switzerland have been poor in the competition while Turkey have been the most disappointing, to say the least.
The 0-3 loss to Italy have put Switzerland in a tough position, needing nothing less than a win in their final group game to have a chance to qualify for the knockout.
A win for Turkey on the other hand, also can give them hope as one of the four best third-placed teams.
