The 2016 dream will inspire Wales' current crop of players as they aim to tear up the script at the start of their Euro 2020 fixtures with an opening clash against Switzerland.

Wales enjoyed an unprecedented run to the semi-finals in the 2016 tournament under Chris Coleman, capturing the hearts of the continent along the way.

They defeated Belgium in the quarter-finals before valiantly falling to eventual champions Portugal in the final four.

Expectations are much lower in 2021 but interim manager Robert Page will be determined to make the most of his opportunity to shine on the continental stage.

Switzerland head into the tournament in strong form across all competitions and will prove tricky for the Welsh to dislodge in Baku.

Our prediction: Wales v Switzerland

Wales are very much expected to be rooted to the floor of Group A with three tricky clashes to navigate against Switzerland, Turkey and Italy.

That won't bother the squad. They rolled up to Euro 2016 as rank outsiders and proved everyone wrong.

On paper, Switzerland's form is very strong with draws against Spain and Germany in their locker over the last year and a 3-0 demolition of dark horses Ukraine proving they have what it takes to succeed.

Wales have tightened up in recent times but their struggles in front of goal against inferior opposition remains an issue that Page must solve or the party won't last long.

Our prediction: Wales 0-2 Switzerland (9/1 at bet365)
