After a victory over Israel (2:1) in Hungary and a draw with Kosovo (1:1) in Switzerland, the teams of Edi Yordenescu and Murat Yakin qualified for Euro-2024.

However, Tuesday night’s matchup has a clear meaning: winning the group is at stake, and Romania have two options out of three to do so: a draw or a win against the Swiss.

Why is the victory in the group important? Because it sends the second value to the urn in the draw of the groups of Euro-2024, and the probability of meeting with more affordable national teams is much higher.
