Switzerland have massively struggled in their last five UEFA Nations League B games. They have yet to pick up a win so far, so them sitting in last place in the group isn't a suprise. Three losses and two draws is their official record in Group 4. They head into this one with a draw in their most recent game, a 1-1 stalemate with Serbia on Friday. As part of this competition, they have already come up against Spain and were thrashed 1-4 on home soil. They are going through a rough patch at the moment and unfortunately for them, it doesn’t look like Switzerland have much of a chance heading into this one.
