Switzerland vs Germany, UEFA Euro 2024, Today Match Prediction

Switzerland vs Germany Match Prediction & Analysis

With Switzerland and Germany both needing points for different reasons, this match is expected to be a closely contested affair. Vladimir Petkovic's team enters the game after a frustrating 0-0 draw against Denmark, while Joachim Löw's Germany aims to become the third host nation to win all three of their group-stage games in a single European Championship, following the footsteps of the Netherlands in 2000 and France in 1984.

Despite a lack of goals in their opening fixture, Switzerland displayed strong defensive resolve and will seek to frustrate Germany's potent attack. On the other hand, Germany showed clinical finishing against the Czech Republic and will look to continue their winning form. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Switzerland Preview

Switzerland is expected to field a similar lineup to the one that faced Denmark. The midfield trio of Granit Xhaka, Remo Freuler, and Denis Zakaria will provide a solid foundation, while Xherdan Shaqiri's creativity will be crucial in breaking down Germany's defence. Haris Seferovic is likely to lead the frontline, with Breel Embolo adding pace on the counter-attack. Switzerland's strong defence, commanded by Fabian Schär and Manuel Akanji, will play a vital role in containing the Germans. However, their lack of cutting-edge in attacks could be a concern. 

Switzerland Probable Starting XI:  Yan Sommer; Widmer, Akanji, Schär, Rodriguez; Freuler, Xhaka, Zakaria; Shaqiri; Embolo, Seferovic

Germany Preview

Germany is unlikely to make significant changes to the lineup that thrashed the Czech Republic. The attacking trio of Kai Havertz, Serge Gnabry, and Leroy Sane will pose a threat to Switzerland's defence, while Ilkay Gündogan will provide creativity from midfield. The experience of Manuel Neuer in goal will be vital for Germany, especially against a team with Switzerland's attacking quality. Germany's biggest strength lies in their attacking firepower, but they must remain cautious of Switzerland's counter-attacking threat. 

Germany Probable Starting XI: Neuer; Kimmich, Süle, Rüdiger, Raum; Gündogan, Kimmich; Gnabry, Havertz, Sane; Werner 

SWITZERLAND vs GERMANY
Winning Prediction

Switzerland and Germany are gearing up for an exciting clash in the group stage of Euro 2024. Both teams have shown their strength, with Switzerland securing a draw and Germany notching up two wins. Switzerland's resilience lies in its solid defence, led by the stalwarts Schär and Akanji. The key to unlocking Germany's backline rests on the creative shoulders of Xherdan Shaqiri, while Seferovic and Embolo provide attacking options upfront. 

On the other hand, Germany boasts an impressive arsenal of firepower, including Havertz, Gnabry, and Sane, with the ever-reliable Manuel Neuer guarding the goal. Gündogan adds an element of control in midfield. Looking ahead, Germany is the favoured team, with a 57% probability of securing a win. Their recent form and attacking prowess give them an edge. However, let's not underestimate Switzerland's defensive organization and the spark that Shaqiri brings to the game. While a tight 2-0 victory for Germany seems likely, a Swiss upset can't be entirely ruled out.
