Hungary vs Switzerland preview, ticket information, tv channel and team news
Dominik Szoboszlai will be the man tasked with unlocking Switzerland's most experienced defense on Saturday.
The Liverpool player delivered four goals and three assists in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. But that was against the likes of Bulgaria, Lithuania, Montenegro and Serbia.
Switzerland are expected to start two Premier League full-backs in Manuel Akanji and Fabian Schar on Saturday, with Remo Freuler and Granit Xhaka providing additional protection in midfield.
However, this Swiss side is more than just a strong defensive unit.
Xherdan Shaqiri has more than 30 international goals to his name and could be part of a surprise attack alongside Augsburg's Ruben Vargas and Burnley's Zeki Amdouni.
Also watch out for Noah Okafor who is a midfielder who could play a key role off the bench. The AC Milan ace is a master carver, known for using his fresh pace to take advantage of struggling defenses in the later stages of games.
