Swiss confident of rolling French

SWISS defender Patrick Müller believes his side can inflict a long overdue defeat on France when they meet in Ireland’s World Cup qualifying Group 4 in Paris on Saturday.

The Swiss have not beaten France since a 2-1 victory in Lausanne 13 years ago. The sides last met in June when two Thierry Henry goals helped the French secure a 3-1 win in the European championships in Portugal.

However, Müller believes that latter performance gives them hope of breaking their 13-year winless streak against the former World and European champions.
