The Swiss women’s team must win its last 2 matches if it intends to qualify directly for the 2023 World Cup. But it must at the same time count on a misstep from Italy.
Switzerland are entering the final sprint of qualifying for the 2023 World Cup. Coach Nils Nielsen, who will leave his post at the end of the year, must lead his protégés to 2 victories in the last 2 qualifying matches to guarantee at least a place in dams.
Ramona Bachmann and her teammates could also qualify directly for the finals scheduled in Australia and New Zealand next year, provided Italy lose points in their last 2 meetings. The Squadra Azzurra will travel to Moldova on Friday before hosting Romania on Tuesday.
The Swiss will play Friday in Croatia, then Tuesday in Lausanne against Moldova. Matches to follow live on RTS2.
