Switzerland vs Turkey Team News
Switzerland
Switzerland do not lack talent in their squad. Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka and Liverpool forward Xherdan Shaqiri have been mainstays in the first XI for quite some time now, while the likes of Borussia Dortmund centre-back Manuel Akanji and Borussia Monchengladbach attacker Breel Embolo are rated highly and have been linked with top clubs.
Montpellier goalkeeper Jonas Omlin withdrew from the squad recently due to an injury and was replaced by Stuttgart shotstopper Gregor Kobel.
Injured: None
Doubtful: None
Suspended: None
Turkey
Meanwhile, Turkey have quality centre-backs like Juventus' Merih Demiral, Leicester City's Caglar Soyuncu and Liverpool's Ozan Kabak. West Bromwich Albion midfielder Okay Yokuslu has done well, but more was expected from the Lille trio of Burak Yilmaz, Zeki Celik and Yusuf Yazici in the opening two games.

Switzerland vs Turkey Predicted XI
Switzerland Predicted XI (3-4-1-2): Yann Sommer, Nico Elvedi, Fabian Schar, Manuel Akanji, Kevin Mbabu, Denis Zakaria, Granit Xhaka, Ricardo Rodriguez, Xherdan Shaqiri, Mario Gavranovic, Breel Embolo

Switzerland vs Turkey Prediction
Switzerland have endured a quiet Euro 2020 campaign. A disappointing draw against Wales was followed by a poor performance against Italy, and they will have to get a positive result here in order to stand a chance to qualify for the next round.
Turkey, on the other hand, have been abysmal. Much was expected from Senol Gunes' side before the tournament began. While a loss against a strong Italy side is not the worst thing in the world, Turkey's performance against Wales was met with intense criticism. It is unlikely that they will go through to the next round now.
Switzerland should be able to win here.
Prediction: Switzerland 2-0 Turkey
