AI match recap
Switzerland come into the knockout stage as the steadier side, with stronger control in midfield and a cleaner tournament profile overall. Algeria still carry real threat through Mahrez, Gouiri and Aouar, but their defensive record in the group stage makes them hard to trust over a full ninety minutes. A major detail is the current availability picture: Switzerland are listed with a full squad, while Algeria are carrying an Amoura injury concern. This should feel like a match where Switzerland have more of the ball, but Algeria remain dangerous if the game becomes stretched.
Injuries and absences
The clearest current team-news swing is Algeria listing Mohamed Amoura as unavailable with a hamstring issue while Switzerland are showing no reported absences. That reduces Algeria's pace and depth in the forward line and puts more creative burden on Mahrez, Aouar and Gouiri.
