Switzerland U21 are facing their defining moment in the UEFA U21 finals when they meet France U21 in Group D. The final round of group matches finds Switzerland U21 third with three points while France U21 top with six points. A loss for Switzerland here will effectively mark an early exit and they will want to avoid that scenario. A key strength the Swiss will bring into this game is their knack for goals. They have scored at least two in each of their last six games. Coming into this game, they have four goals in their opening two Group D games. However, they’ve managed no clean sheets in the last seven matches. Most of their goals in recent matches have come in the second half.

The last time these two nations met at this level, France emerged 3-1 winners in 2020. That French team has since moved on and will have no hinge on this one. In their opening two matches, France have posted straight wins, securing their place in the next stage. With a fine performance, France saw off Italy 2-1 before beating Norway 1-0. Their latest win was the first clean sheet for France U21 in seven matches. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches. France have conceded twice in three of their last six matches; they aren’t the best to bank on defensively. In four of their last five matches, France have scored at least once in the second half. The French will go into this game without Loic Balde, who is suspended.
