The first of three European Championship matches today gets underway at 14:00 BST in Cologne: Hungary v Switzerland.

It’s the second Group A encounter following Germany’s win over Scotland last night.

It’s a match of limited Fantasy interest, although Hungary’s Dominik Szoboszlai is owned by 18% of managers in the official game.

The Liverpool midfielder starts as expected for his national side.

There are no huge shocks with the Hungary team, with Peter Gulacsi getting the nod over Denes Dibusz between the sticks.

The big team news from the Switzerland camp is that Xherdan Shaqiri is only among the substitutes.

Hungary XI (3-4-2-1) Gulacsi; Lang, Orban, A Szalai; Fiola, A Nagy, Schafer, Kerkez; Sallai, Szoboszlai; B Varga.

        The commentators were talking about some Swiss lad that plays in Bulgaria as the game was starting!

    when 2 more evenly matched teams play each other, there'll be more ball recoveries because of more turn overs of possession? or am I wrong

      Yeah, you wouldn't expect many turnovers from a side that dominates possession against a weaker team (e.g. Italians v Albania). But probably depends most on attacking tempo and pressing intensity, which I expect Hungary to bring here. Could see a few Swiss players on 6+
