England vs. Switzerland Preview

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for England vs. Switzerland at EURO 2024

Where: Merkur Spiel-Arena, Dusseldorf, Germany
When: Sunday, July 7, 12:00 AM

The English unit disappointed us from game to game, and we need to say that they didn’t deserve to eliminate Slovakia in the Round of 16. This time, the ball has cheated us. Meanwhile, Switzerland’s case is completely different. Murat Yakin’s crew outplayed the Italians in every single aspect of the game, putting on a clinic against the 2020 EURO winners.

England vs. Switzerland Preview

England

England has been terrible in these four matches. Again, Jude Bellingham saved the Three Lions with a last-second goal, forcing extra time. After that, Harry Kane used the momentum to beat the Slovakian goalkeeper right after the start of the additional 30 minutes of play.

But we have to say again that this was pure luck, and it wasn’t a product of English systematic play or its quality on the field. Southgate’s game plan was ridiculous, and the Slovaks immediately saw through his intentions.

The team would look even worse if it weren’t for Man City’s duo, Stones-Foden. On the other hand, two guys who definitely don’t deserve a place in the starting lineup are Mainoo and Saka, who may be the biggest disappointment of the entire EURO.

Switzerland

Switzerland is the only team, along with France, to have reached the knockout stage of the last six major international tournaments (EURO or World Cup). Now, that’s a system and consistency. Finally, they have a nice chance to make a notable result, which would include the semis or even the finals. That is, if they continue to play like this.

Yakin’s crew has one loss in the last ten appearances, five ties, and four wins. Here at the EURO, the Swiss crew defeated Hungary in the opening game, 1-3. They then played without winners against Scotland and Germany before beating Italy in the Round of 16, 2-0.

The Azzurri were the first team to not score against Switzerland after five consecutive matches. This wasn’t due to a good defense but to the disastrous performance of their strikers.

England vs. Switzerland Predictions

The bookies favor England here, but we will bet on the Swiss to stay unbeaten – double chance, Switzerland or a draw. Why? Well, we can’t choose England’s victory following all the poor display, and also, we have the Swiss unit playing very rational and competitive football.

Our verdict: Double chance, Swiss or draw
