Israel vs. Switzerland, Group I of the European Championship qualifiers in Germany, is scheduled for Wednesday, November 15 at 9:45 p.m. at the Pancho Arena in Felchut, Hungary, and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1 and Prima. Sports 1.

Israel and Switzerland are battling for the top two spots in Group I in the Euro 2024 preliminary round, along with Romania, in a landmark match postponed due to the outbreak of conflict in the Middle East.

From Group I, except Israel with 11 points (seven matches) and Switzerland with 15 points (seven matches), Romania with 16 points (eight matches), Kosovo with 10 points (eight matches), Belarus with six points (eight matches) and Andorra with two points (eight matches), with the top two places in the rankings qualifying for the EC 2024 finals.

Israel are in 3rd place with 11 points, five behind leaders Romania, who have one more match to play, and four points behind Switzerland, who are still within reach of qualifying for the final tournament of the Championship of Europe in Germany.

Israel started a four-match run to reach their first ever finals with a 0-1 loss to Kosovo in Pristina, and if they do not win against Switzerland they will have to beat Romania (also in Budapest) and Andorra (away ), but despite this, the “tricolors” will not need a victory in the last match at home, against the national team from “Tara Cantoanelor”.

Coach Alon Hazan has called up 31 players, given that Israel has three more games in just seven days: Switzerland (Felchut, Hungary) on November 15, Romania (Felchut, Hungary) on November 18 and Andorra on November 21. (far). The main news in the party is the return of star Eran Zahavi (36 years old), striker of Maccabi Tel Aviv and the top scorer in the history of the Israeli national team (33 goals in 70 appearances).

Switzerland are in 2nd place, one point behind Romania, who played an extra match, and four points ahead of Israel, with a game at home against Kosovo and away against Romania.

Murat Yakin’s side, favorites in the big group after the draw, are unbeaten, as are Romania, but ended up trembling for qualification, and failure to play Israel would seriously dent their chances of reaching Euro 2024. On the other hand, success would guarantee him a presence at the final tournament in Germany, regardless of the outcome of the last two games!

In addition, Switzerland won only once in the last four matches, 3-0 against Andorra (a), and in the rest only drew, 2-2 at home to Romania, 2-2 in Kosovo and 3-3 at home to Belarus!

In a tour match on 28 March 2023 in Geneva, Switzerland beat Israel 3-0 with goals from Vargas (39), Amduni (47) and Widmer (52).
