File Pic[/caption] Internet Desk: Switzerland and new Arsenal signing Granit Xhaka go in hunt of a second victory in Euro 2016 on Wednesday against a Romania side fighting for survival. Romania came close to frustrating France in the tournament-opening match before Dimitri Payet's sublime winner gave the French a last-gasp 2-1 win. The Swiss meanwhile had to fight before Fabien Schaer's forceful header secured a 1-0 win over 10-man Albania. Schaer, the 1.86 metre (6ft 3in) Hoffenheim defender, makes a habit of scoring for the national side -- his decisive goal on Saturday was his sixth in 21 appearances. Victory at Parc des Princes would almost certainly guarantee Switzerland a ticket for the round of 16 from Group A -- and they will not want to be facing France in Lille on Sunday after a defeat to the Romanians. But Schaer said his teammates had taken note that coach Anghel Iordanescu's team were unlucky to lose to the French. Stanciu, 23, said after the France game that he was getting tired of comparisons with legendary Romanian midfielder Gheorge Hagi, who graced both Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 1990s, and the controversial Adrian Mutu, once of Chelsea. The Romanians received glowing praise from their usually critical national press for their performance against France and the atmosphere in the camp is relaxed after they enjoyed a barbecue with their families in the team hotel on Monday. Fresh from holding England in Marseille in their Euro 2016 Group B opener, Russia face Slovakia in Lille on Wednesday knowing a win would all but secure progression to the last 16. Russia's opening game on Saturday was overshadowed by the trouble that flared in the city of Marseille and in the stands at the Stade Velodrome at full time. UEFA has since opened disciplinary proceedings against Russia for the crowd disturbances, as well as racist behaviour and the letting off of fireworks, and has threatened them with expulsion from the competition if violence flares again. And with England and Wales playing each other in nearby Lens on Thursday, the threat of more incidents between rival supporters in Lille will be of serious concern to local authorities. But on the pitch in Marseille there was a happy ending for Leonid Slutsky's side as captain Vasili Berezutski's stoppage-time equaliser saw them earn a 1-1 draw against the Group B favourites. That also means a victory at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, a day before England face Wales just along the road, would pile pressure on Roy Hodgson's men in particular. "I am not a saviour and one point does not really mean that much," Berezutski told UEFA.Com, playing down the significance of his goal before Slutsky's side travelled to the northern city of Lille to face the Slovakians. Russia saw key midfield duo Igor Denisov and Alan Dzagoev withdraw from their squad due to injury before the tournament, while back-up goalkeeper Yuri Lodygin missed training on Tuesday. Meanwhile midfielder Denis Glushakov, who was used from the bench against England, could come into the Russian starting line-up providing he shakes off a calf strain. For Slovakia there is even greater urgency in their search for a first European Championship finals win after they conceded late on to lose 2-1 against Wales in their opener in Bordeaux on Saturday. Coach Jan Kozak will want more from his star creator, Napoli's Marek Hamsik, and has admitted that changes to his line-up are a certainty. That could mean Ondrej Duda of Legia Warsaw, who came off the bench to score against Wales, could be promoted to the starting XI.
