  UEFA Euro 2020

  OPTA STAT: Turkey have won each of their last two encounters with Switzerland, with both victories seeing the Swiss open the scoring. The Turks have never won three in a row against the Helvetic nation.

  What's at stake here?

  Switzerland's tournament will be over if they lose to Turkey. They can secure a top-2 finish if Wales lose and they win. The two teams would be level on points and will then be separated on goal difference.

  
  

  Turkey have no chance of finishing in the top two, but they must beat Switzerland to finish third in the group.
