Tiktukno: summary of today's events in sports, 24.3 (Sport1)
The Euro 2024 qualifiers will continue tonight (Saturday), among other things with House T - the Israeli house - where two more matches will be held besides the meeting of Alon Hazan and his players with Kosovo.
Switzerland, the big favorite to finish first, will host Belarus, while Romania will host Andorra.

Belarus - Switzerland 2:0 (1st half)
Switzerland is without a doubt the big favorite to finish in first place and sail on the way to qualifying for a sixth major tournament in a row.
In the last Euro, she registered her record achievement in the European Championships, when she was stopped in the quarter-finals by Spain at the end of a penalty shoot-out.
In the last World Cup, she made it through the group stage, but in the round of 16 she lost 6:1 to Portugal, and this will be her first game since that defeat.
On the lines, Murat Yakin replaced Vladimir Petkovic, and tonight he will be missing one of his biggest stars, the injured Xordan Shaqiri, as well as Brill Embolo, who is injured in his knee - both will also miss the game against Israel next week.
Fabian Scher and Harris Saprowicz were not called up, when Yakin placed Cedric Itan in the attack next to Ruben Vargas and Renato Stefan.
The rival, who finished last in the Nations League at home with Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Slovakia, will try to cause a surprise.
Hapoel Haifa player Denis Poliakov started in the center of the defense, against the background of the calls to expel his country from the Euro qualifiers.
Belarus composition:
Andrey Kudvarts, Vladislav Malekevich, Denis Polyakov, Zakhar Volkov, Roman Yuzpchuk, Denis Garchiko, Alexander Sliaeva, Evgeny Yablonsky, Max Abong, Yuriy Kovalev, and Vladimir Khabachinsky.
Switzerland squad:
Jan Sommer, Ricardo Rodriguez, Manuel Akanji, Nico Albadi, Silvan Vidmar, Granit Xhaka, Denis Zakaria, Remo Frouiller, Ruben Vargas, Renato Stefan, Cedric Itten.

Andorra - Romania (Saturday, 22:45, Sport1)
The team that is mainly remembered from the 1994 World Cup is very far from its glory days, when in the last two decades it appeared in only two major tournaments.
In Euro 2016, the last tournament in which she participated, she was eliminated in the group stage after losses to France and Albania and a draw against Switzerland, her rival in the "House of Israel".
Coach Eduard Iordanescu, who led his team to a 2:2 draw against Israel in a friendly match a year ago, will be missing the injured Genoa striker George Puskas.
Andorra, the weakest team at home and one of the weakest in Europe, lost its two friendly matches - 1:0 to Gibraltar, and 1:0 to Austria.
