Real Madrid star Gareth Bale ready to lead Wales against Switzerland for Wales' opening match of Euro 2020

Bale is Wales' all-time leading goal scorer with 33 from 92 appearances and he struck in all three of their Euro 2016 group games.

"I haven't scored for a while but I've made maybe six or seven assists in that time. So I'm still contributing in terms of goals. After winning the 2009 Under-17 World Cup and finishing as runners-up at the 2011 Under-21 European Championship, Switzerland had hoped to be flourishing in senior tournaments by now.

"I have a good feeling. We have had good preparations and of course expectations are high," said Xhaka."We don't want to talk, we want to achieve."Juventus midfielder Aaron Ramsey missed training on Thursday butWales interim manager Robert Page said: "To get to the eve of the competition with a full squad of 26, credit must go to the backroom staff and medical team.

It would be a huge shock if Wales were to win Euro 2020 as Gracenote gives them just 1.3% chance of doing so. The team's opening fixture against Switzerland is a crucial one if they are to progress. Wales have 28% chance of winning and 28% chance of a draw but the Swiss are favourites here."This is the first meeting between Wales and Switzerland at a major tournament.

Switzerland have scored more than one goal in only one of their 13 games at the UEFA European Championships, a 2-0 win on home soil against Portugal in the 2008 group stages.
