Comments and predictions for Finland Women vs Switzerland Women: Dramatic comeback

Latest information on Finland Women vs Switzerland Women's team

Swiss striker Lia Wandeler is competing for a starting spot after a positive display coming off the bench against Iceland.

Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic is an option on the wing, but coach Sundhage could continue to use a five-man defense consisting of Iman Beney, Viola Calligaris, Julia Stierli, Noelle Maritz and Nadine Riesen.

Geraldine Reuteler continues to be the main striker in the attack, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 international matches.

On the Finnish side, coach Marko Saloranta is likely to keep the same 5-man defense including Emma Koivisto, Natalia Kuikka, Nystrom, Joanna Tynnila and Katariina Kosola.

Sanni Franssi came on for the final half-hour against Norway and is in contention to return to the starting line-up in the crucial game.

Oona Sevenius is all but guaranteed a starting spot after scoring on her first start of the tournament in matchday two.

Latest football commentary on Finland Women vs Switzerland Women

After two group stage exits in 2017 and 2022, Switzerland are hoping to make their first appearance in the knockout stages of a European Championship.

They bounced back from a 2-1 defeat to Norway with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Iceland on Sunday in Bern.

The match looked set to end goalless until Geraldine Reuteler coolly opened the scoring in the 76th minute.

Substitute Alayah Pilgrim sealed the win with a deflected shot in the 90th minute, ending Switzerland's five-match winless run at the Women's Euros.

Currently ahead of Finland on goal difference, Switzerland only need a draw to qualify for the quarter-finals – where they will meet the group B winner.

While a draw would be enough, “La Nati” are still hoping to make it two wins in a row for the first time since beating Türkiye and Azerbaijan in the women's Euro qualifiers in July 2024.

Finland reached the knockout stages in their first two Women's Euros (2005 and 2009), but were then eliminated early in the group stage in 2013 and 2022.

Thursday's game will decide whether they suffer another early defeat, currently third, behind Switzerland on goal difference.

Finland started the tournament with a narrow 1-0 win over Iceland, then put in a solid performance against Norway on Sunday.

Oona Sevenius equalized after an own goal from Eva Nystrom, leaving the two teams level at 1-1 at halftime. Despite creating several chances in the second half, Finland were left empty-handed as Caroline Graham Hansen scored the winner in the 84th minute.

Finland will need to quickly regain their spirit for the final match, because only a win will help them surpass Switzerland for second place.

They also do not have a good record against their opponents, having failed to win in their last four meetings with Switzerland, since a 3-1 friendly win in March 2012.
