World champions France take on Switzerland in the last 16 of the European Championship.
France are among the favourites for glory at Euro 2020 and were unbeaten as they topped their tricky Group F.
The French are yet to hit top gear and will be looking for better against Switzerland.
The Swiss went through as one of the best third-placed side but did impress against Turkey last time out.
The winner of this tie will take on either Croatia or Spain in the quarter-finals.

France v Switzerland: What has been said?
France coach Didier Deschamps: “They’re a well-structured team and they have good attacking potential.
“We must not underestimate them and it’s a knockout game so we’ll have to do everything we can to ensure we have smiles on our faces at the end of the match.
“We’ve had an extra day between games, five rather than four, while our opponents have had eight days, which is better. It’s hot here too, but a bit easier to cope with.”
Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic: “Against a side like France, if we both give 100 precent, what we do won’t be enough. They’ll have to give 80 precent and we need to make the most of it.
“With tough experiences you gain experience. In the EURO 2016 round of 16 game against Poland, we deserved to progress, and with penalty shoot-outs, you need to be lucky.
“We learned from that game, and also from the [1-0 round of 16] defeat against Sweden at the 2018 World Cup.
“We have just one aim: play well against France and try to get through.”
