The hosts and next Swiss opponents Denmark remain unbeaten at the World Handball Championship.
After three victories in the preliminary round, the Olympic champions and defending champions also gave Germany no chance in the opening round of the main competition. The Danes won 40:30 in Herning.
This means that the two decisive games in Group 1 for a place in the quarter-finals will be played on Thursday. Switzerland would have to pull off a sensation against Denmark to keep their chances alive. Germany will face Italy, who are level on points and celebrated an unchallenged 25:18 victory against the Czech Republic.
France have also been very convincing so far. They beat Hungary 37:30 in Varazdin, Croatia, and are also still unbeaten.
