Reporters' views

Judith Tuffentsammer, Switzerland reporter
After an unfortunate defeat in their opening game against Norway, this might already be decisive. Making history by reaching the quarter-finals for the first time has been Switzerland's goal since the start of the home tournament; they'll want to keep that dream alive as well as give the fans in the nation's capital something to cheer. Iceland are the second side in Group A that the hosts have recently faced in the Nations League so there won't be any surprises – and Switzerland will hope to build on the two draws earlier this year.

Andri Valsson, Iceland reporter
The possible absence of Glódís Viggósdóttir is the biggest headline from the Iceland camp, as the captain is dealing with illness and is unlikely to train much before the game. Coach Thorsteinn Halldorsson is also forced into changes in midfield, where Dagný Brynjarsdóttir may start. In need of a win, Iceland must build on how they reacted after being reduced to ten players in the loss against Finland. To have the courage to be offensive and aggressive, team unity and togetherness will be required like never before.

What the coaches say

Pia Sundhage, Switzerland coach: "I would like to see a similar thing like against Norway, where we kept possession and created chances – but I would also like to see the ball go into the net more often!"

Thorsteinn Halldorsson, Iceland coach: "We will do everything in our power to get that win. How we will do that, you'll have to wait and see. [Switzerland] were better offensively [in their first game] than we had seen before and we have to analyse everything well – what they are doing differently. This is going to be an interesting game. Both teams have their backs against the wall, and both must be offensive to have any chance of qualifying."
