(about what he expects from Iceland after the 6-0 win in the first game)

"It is hard to say. I saw their match (against France) and the strength of Iceland surprised me. Iceland conceded two goals under pressure at the end of the match. This is a very interesting team which have found the rhythm again. I respect Iceland and we need to play well against them in order to win."

STORYLINE:

Switzerland head coach Vladimir Petkovic spoke on Sunday (14th October) on the eve of their UEFA Nations League A Group 2 match against Iceland, who the Swiss thrashed 6-0 at home a month ago.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

After the disappointing World Cup adventure, Switzerland started the UEFA Nations League A Group 2 on the right foot with a 6-0 thrashing of Iceland.

Their last two outings, though, were everything but satisfying for head coach Vladimir Petkovic.

A 1-0 defeat to England in a friendly game and a 2-1 loss to Belgium in the Nations League.

Switzerland face Iceland again at Reykjavík's Laugardalsvollur on Monday (15th October) to try to turn things around against a team which has lost seven of their last 10 games.

Switzerland's World Cup campaign ended in the round of 16 as Vladimir Petkovic's side were defeated 1-0 by Sweden.

In four games in the competition, the Swiss only won once against Serbia (2-1), drawing 1-1 with Brazil and 2-2 with Costa Rica in the other two Group E matches.

An under-par performance for a national team who had quality players like Arsenal's Granit Xhaka and Liverpool's Xherdan Shaqiri and experienced ones like former West Ham and Watford midfielder Valon Behrami and Arsenal's Stephan Lichtsteiner.
