Interestingly Swiss lost to Iceland yesterday 2-1. So that's a ray of hope.

Looking at Switzerland's recent form it's pretty patchy. Draws, narrow losses. Like us they don't score much. Unlike us they don't lose many games by 3-5 goal margins.
Ferns at full strength, with some doses of luck and the boozed Otago scarfies cheering them on may fluke a win. Biggest football occasion in Dunners for many a year. Surprised NZF haven't taken a Ferns friendly to Forsyth Barr this year. Unique environment there under the roof, and bit strange first time any of the Ferns will have played there. If anything the Swiss could have a little advantage there, as they play their first pool game against the Philippines in Dunedin.
