Switzerland seeks bounce-back against Bosnia-Herzegovina at World Cup
Summary

Switzerland plays Bosnia-Herzegovina at Los Angeles Stadium tonight at 20:00 BST needing a strong response after drawing their tournament opener against Qatar. Coach Murat Yakin's side had 26 shots but failed to secure a win, resulting in crucial points being dropped. The match is essential for Switzerland before facing co-hosts Canada in their next group game. With a fully fit squad, Yakin can select his strongest lineup, potentially featuring key players like Granit Xhaka and Breel Embolo, who scored in the previous match.
