Coach Murat Yakin makes three changes to the starting line-up for the home match against Denmark compared to the game against Serbia. Edimilson Fernandes, Ulisses Garcia and Fabian Rieder start.
Fernandes, who has been under contract with Brest since this season, replaces the suspended Silvan Widmer. His Ligue 1 colleague Garcia (Marseille) will play on the left wing in place of Ricardo Rodriguez. It was not initially clear from the player list whether Yakin will also change the system. It is quite possible that Fernandes and Garcia will form a back four together with Nico Elvedi and Manuel Akanji. Switzerland last played with a back three.
Michel Aebischer will be on the bench in place of Rieder, who came on at half-time against Serbia. Like Dan Ndoye, the player on loan from VfB Stuttgart is likely to be deployed on the wing. The midfield will be formed by the experienced duo of Remo Freuler and captain Granit Xhaka. Up front, Yakin will rely on Zeki Amdouni and Breel Embolo.
This will be the third meeting between the two national teams this year. So far there has been a draw in March and a defeat for Switzerland in September. In the home game in St. Gallen, the Swiss will be looking to score for the first time in the Nations League. Kick-off at Kybunpark is at 20:45.
Switzerland's line-up: Kobel; Fernandes, Elvedi, Akanji, Garcia; Rieder, Freuler, Xhaka, Ndoye; Amdouni; Embolo.
The Denmark line-up: Schmeichel; Kristensen, Vestergaard, Nelsson; Bah, Eriksen, Höjbjerg, Dorgu; Isaksen, Höjlund, Grönbeck.
