England vs Switzerland: Euro 2024 Quarterfinal Prediction Match Details
England is set to host Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarterfinal on Saturday at the Merkur Spiel Arena in Dusseldorf. Both teams are vying for the spot in the last four.
England Preview & Form
England’s performance at Euro 2024 has attracted a lot of criticism. They struggled through the group stage and the knockout stage. The Three Lions enter the quarterfinal after narrowly defeating Slovakia. Jude Bellingham’s last-gasp heroics goal rescued England to extra time, and Harry Kane scored early in the first extra time to give them a hard-fought win. Gareth Southgate’s side has been weak in attack, having scored only three goals since the start of the tournament, but their defense has kept two clean sheets. Gareth Southgate will hope his side can continue their impressive record against Switzerland in their previous meetings, with England having lost only three times.
Switzerland Preview & Form
Switzerland has shown impressive form since the beginning of the tournament. They had an easier time in the knockout stage, defeating defending champion Italy 2-0 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin. The Swiss looked formidable in attack and solid in defense, remaining undefeated so far in the tournament. They have scored at least one goal in each of their matches in Germany. Murat Yakin will be hoping his team can secure their first victory in Switzerland’s last ten meetings with England.
