Reporters' views

Mikael Erävuori, Finland reporter
The loss to Norway on Sunday was difficult to take, but that cannot be changed now. Instead, Finland must look at the positive aspects from that encounter, which was the best performance the team have put in this year. Switzerland will have huge backing in Geneva yet will also certainly feel pressure. Finland do not need to change much, but they do need to trust in themselves. Only a win will do, and they must seize any opportunities they get.

Judith Tuffentsammer, Switzerland reporter
Switzerland have all to play for against Finland, and while a draw would be enough to send them through, don't expect the hosts to not go for the win. With an excellent first half against Norway and an effective second period against Iceland, they have shown what they're all about here at home, with 30,000 fans behind them in the stadium. Can they make history by reaching the quarter-finals in their home tournament?

What the coaches say

Marko Saloranta, Finland coach: "The defeat against Norway was disappointing, but we now just need to get over it. We have not lost anything yet, and everything is in our own hands. Before the EURO, we had a clear goal and that was to get further than the group stage. That has not changed and now it will mean we need to take three points on Thursday. The atmosphere in the first two games has been fantastic and I am sure it will be even better when we play against the host nation in a fully packed stadium. We are really looking forward to a great evening."

Pia Sundhage, Switzerland coach: "We can't do the same thing as in the last two games because Finland is a different team. What we have done is prepare the team so we have a plan A, a plan B and a plan C. We will bring out the best performance in each other and make sure that whoever is starting the starting line-up, as well as the players coming off the bench, can make the result a positive one."
