THE PREDICTION
Both of these teams had to overcome good teams to reach this stage with Switzerland beating Belgium and Portugal edging past Italy in their groups and they look relatively well-matched coming into this Nations League semi-final. There is very little to pick between them and with Portugal having drawn their last four, this match could easily follow suit after 90 minutes. They have the edge in quality, and although the Swiss may play better as a team, Portugal's star quality may just make the difference.
