    The Les Bleus emerged the first nation to qualify for the next stage of the tournament after they beat Albania 2-0 in their second game, having grabbed all 3 points against Romania in their first game. 

    France fought hard until the end to grab 2 late goals in against Albania. Pogba and Griezmann started on the bench while Martial, who was later substituted, was handed a start. They have now has 2 wins from 2, and 2 clean sheets, they will hope to extend the streak against Switzerland. 

    Switzerland now have a guaranteed top-3 finish as they already have 4 points in the bag with a win over Albania and a draw against Romania, but a win against the French side will shoot them top of the group and qualify them for the round of 16. 

    The Swiss team have shown good qualities in their two group games, even after conceding an early penalty in their last game, they went on to level things up and grabbed a point from the game. They now hope for a win over the host nation or at least a draw. 

    Romania and Albania will face each other on Sunday at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in a group A game.
