Spain – Switzerland: two surprise changes in the starting eleven

Pia Sundhage has made two changes in its eleven for the Euro quarter -final against Spain (kick -off at 9:00 p.m.). Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic and Noemi Ivelj are holders in Berne.

Entry aligned during the last two games, Julia Stierli and Svenja Fölmli pay the price for a change of system decided by the selector. With only two central defenders-Viola Calligaris and Noëlle Maritz-, the Swiss will probably evolve in 4-4-2 or in 4-3-3.

Crnogorcevic should occupy the right flank of defense and Nadine Riesen on the left side. In the middle of the field, Noemi Ivelj returns alongside Smilla Vallotto and Lia Wälti, as in the opening match against Norway. To see if Géraldine Reuteler will accompany them or will evolve above with Sydney Schertenleib and Iman Beney. Valaisanne will undoubtedly take advantage of the presence of Crnogorcevic to play in a more offensive role. Ideal to try to surprise Spain in counterattack.

La Composition Suisse: Peng; Crnogorcevic, Calligaris, Maritz, Giant; Ivelj, Wälti, Reuteler, Vallotto; Tearning body, Beney.
