Scouting Report

Xherdan Shaqiri is a proven performer on the big stage for Switzerland, scoring at every major tournament for the Red Crosses since the 2010 World Cup and notching 13 goals and assists in his 20 games at those events. He is ageing but still managed three goals and two assists in his seven qualifying matches and could be crucial to his side’s chances.
