Hungary vs Switzerland LIVE!

Euro 2024 is under way as the second game in Group A kicks off the first full day of action. Germany thumped Scotland in the opening game on Friday night to lay down a marker and now both Hungary and Switzerland will know it will likely be a battle between them both to see who finishes behind the hosts.

Hungary have been tipped as one of the dark horses of the competition, having gone unbeaten throughout qualifying and being led by captain, and Liverpool star, Dominik Szoboszlai. They flopped at the previous Euros, going out at the group stage without a win to their name, but are widely expected to fair much better this time around.

Switzerland, though, are no pushovers. Granit Xhaka, their influential leader, heads up what is considered a golden generation for the nation’s footballing hopes. The squad also includes Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji, Inter Milan goalkeeper Yann Sommer and Xherdan Shaqiri. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.

Steven Zuber is a doubt for Switzerland after picking up a knock in the friendly draw with Austria, but both Breel Embolo and Denis Zakaria have shaken off injury issues to be in contention.

Captain Granit Xhaka, Manuel Akanji and Xherdan Shaqiri should all start. Burnley striker Zeki Amdouni will lead the line and be supported by Shaqiri.

The 32-year-old has scored or assisted 46 per cent of Switzerland’s 28 major tournament goals (nine goals and four assists) since the 2014 World Cup.

Experienced goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi will again get the nod, in front of a back line that includes the likes of Willi Orban and Attila Szalai.

Bournemouth‘s Milos Kerkez should also get the nod, supporting Barnabas Varga – who scored 29 goals for Ferencvaros last season – from out wide.
