Both coaches will be using Sunday’s fixture to finalise tactical decisions and give squad members additional match minutes.
Switzerland vs Jordan Predicted Lineups
Confirmed lineups will be added here approximately one hour before kickoff.
Switzerland (Predicted): Coach Murat Yakin is expected to rotate from the XI that faced Germany in March, with his preferred 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-2-1 system likely on show. Captain Granit Xhaka (Bayer Leverkusen) anchors the midfield alongside Remo Freuler and Denis Zakaria. Manuel Akanji (Inter Milan, Serie A champion) leads a defensive unit behind goalkeeper Gregor Kobel (Borussia Dortmund). In attack, Dan Ndoye (Nottingham Forest) and Noah Okafor (Leeds United) provide width and pace, with Breel Embolo leading the line. Johan Manzambi, Europa League finalist with Freiburg, is an exciting attacking option from the bench. The confirmed starting XI for Switzerland has not yet been announced. Check back closer to kickoff.
Jordan (Predicted): Coach Jamal Sellami is expected to field a disciplined 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 shape built around captain Musa Al-Taamari, the Stade Rennais playmaker who is the driving force behind everything Jordan do. Al-Taamari scored seven goals and assisted eleven across 35 matches this season and will be looking to impress against a strong European side. Goalkeeper Yazeed Abulaila provides experience between the posts. The squad features predominantly Jordanian Pro League players alongside Al-Taamari as the standout European-based talent. The confirmed starting XI for Jordan has not yet been announced. Check back closer to kickoff.
Switzerland Pre-Match Form
Switzerland head into this Jordan friendly off the back of an enthralling March window — their ten-match unbeaten run was ended by Germany in a breathless seven-goal thriller, but Yakin’s side showed all their attacking quality in defeat.
- Lost vs Germany 3-4 — International Friendly, 27 March 2026 (St. Jakob-Park, Basel).
- Drew vs Kosovo 1-1 — WC Qualifier, 18 November 2025.
- Won vs Sweden 4-1 — WC Qualifier, 15 November 2025.
- Drew vs Slovenia 0-0 — WC Qualifier, 13 October 2025.
- Won vs Sweden 2-0 — WC Qualifier, 10 October 2025.
Dan Ndoye, Breel Embolo, and Joel Monteiro all scored in the Germany defeat — showing the Swiss attack is sharp and capable of producing goals against top European opposition. The qualifying campaign was outstanding: Switzerland topped their WC qualifying group with 14 points from six matches, winning four, conceding only twice, and finishing as one of the best defensive teams across all 54 UEFA qualifying nations. The only question mark for Yakin is the absence of Granit Xhaka from a commanding midfield position when injured — but the captain is fit for this window.
Jordan Pre-Match Form
Jordan arrive in St. Gallen as the feel-good story from the AFC. Their first-ever World Cup qualification ended a run of more than ten failed attempts, and coach Jamal Sellami has built a squad with a genuine identity and belief.
- Drew vs Nigeria 2-2 — International Friendly, 31 March 2026.
- Drew vs Costa Rica 2-2 — International Friendly, 27 March 2026.
- Lost vs Morocco 2-3 — FIFA Arab Cup Final, December 2025 (aet).
- Won vs Saudi Arabia 1-0 — FIFA Arab Cup Semi-Final, December 2025.
- Won vs Iraq 1-0 — FIFA Arab Cup Quarter-Final, December 2025.
Two draws in March — against Nigeria and Costa Rica — followed three strong Arab Cup results that included wins over Saudi Arabia and Iraq before a narrow final defeat to Morocco after extra time. Jordan’s form across that December Arab Cup run showed real competitive depth: three clean sheets in the knockout rounds before conceding three in the final showed both the ceiling and the vulnerability. The 2-2 against Nigeria was encouraging given the quality of opposition. Full form data for Jordan beyond the above was not available at time of writing.
Switzerland vs Jordan Head-to-Head
This is the first-ever senior international meeting between Switzerland and Jordan. The two nations have never met at full international level before.
First-ever meeting.
With no H2H data available, the pre-match context is shaped entirely by current form and squad quality. Switzerland (FIFA rank ~20) hold a significant ranking advantage over Jordan (FIFA rank 63), but Jordan arrive as a competitive, well-organised team who have beaten Saudi Arabia in a knockout fixture within the last six months.
Switzerland vs Jordan Match Preview
The Kybunpark in St. Gallen has hosted Switzerland’s domestic send-off fixture before — it is a ground associated with the national team’s final tune-ups — and Sunday’s occasion carries both the warmth of a home farewell and the competitive edge of a World Cup rehearsal. For Murat Yakin, this Jordan fixture is primarily about giving his confirmed World Cup squad quality minutes and reinforcing tactical patterns ahead of Group B.
Switzerland’s group is well-balanced. Qatar — the opening opponent — are a known quantity from AFC qualifying and the 2022 World Cup host experience. Canada bring physicality and pace. Bosnia and Herzegovina, who beat Italy on penalties to qualify, are the danger team. All three games are winnable, and all three are also traps. Yakin will use the St. Gallen occasion to solidify the defensive organisation that conceded just twice in WC qualifying while keeping the attacking momentum that produced three goals against Germany despite the loss.
For Jordan, every match between now and 17 June against Austria is precious preparation for the biggest moment in the nation’s football history. Captain Musa Al-Taamari’s brilliance can unlock any defence on his day — Switzerland will know that — but Sellami will also want to work on Jordan’s defensive shape against a team capable of combining quickly through Xhaka, Freuler, and Ndoye. A competitive, intense 90 minutes in St. Gallen is exactly what Jordan need heading into Group J and the challenge of Argentina, Austria, and Algeria.
