Switzerland and Denmark will face off on Tuesday night in a crucial UEFA Nations League encounter. Both teams are coming off defeats in their recent matches and will be looking to get back to winning ways.
Switzerland, currently bottom of the group, suffered a 2-0 loss to Serbia, while Denmark lost narrowly to Spain, 1-0. With both teams needing points to keep their campaigns alive, this match promises to be a tightly contested affair.
