PARIS (Reuters) - Albania coach Gianni De Biasi hopes to emulate English Premier League champions Leicester City by making the "impossible" happen and disproving their underdog status when they meet Switzerland in Group A on Saturday.

The Italian's team are tipped as the whipping boys in a section that also includes hosts France and Balkan rivals Romania, and Saturday's match has a derby feel with links between the sides stemming from the large intake of Kosovar Albanian refugees in Switzerland.
