England vs Switzerland Prediction Euro 2024

⚽ Football EURO 2024 Match Preview

⏰ 6 July 2024 - 17:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadium: Merkur Spiel-Arena (Düsseldorf)

England face Switzerland in a crucial UEFA Euro 2024 quarter-final clash. The Three Lions narrowly escaped elimination in the last 16, thanks to late heroics from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane against Slovakia. England's historical dominance over Switzerland (18 wins, 5 draws, 1 loss in their last 24 meetings) provides confidence, but they'll need to step up their game to progress.

This match marks Gareth Southgate's 100th as England manager, a prestigious milestone achieved by only two previous bosses. He'll be eager for his team to silence critics and reach a third major tournament semi-final under his leadership.

Switzerland, meanwhile, enters the quarter-final with momentum after a convincing 2-0 victory over Italy. Goals from Remo Freuler and Rubén Vargas showcased their potential as dark horses in the tournament. The Swiss have a strong recent record at the Euros, losing just three of their last 14 matches (6 wins, 5 draws).

However, Switzerland faces a historical hurdle, having lost all four of their previous quarter-final appearances in major tournaments – the most of any European side without progressing further. Their impressive tally of seven goals in the tournament so far could be key to breaking this curse and reaching their first-ever semi-final.

England's historical dominance and tournament experience give them a slight edge, but their recent form raises concerns. Switzerland's momentum and goalscoring prowess make them dangerous underdogs. Expect a cagey start with both teams wary of making mistakes. England's superior individual talent may prove decisive in the latter stages, possibly forcing extra time or even penalties. The Three Lions' tournament experience could be the deciding factor, but Switzerland's resilience shouldn't be underestimated. A narrow victory for England seems likely, but don't rule out a Swiss upset in what could be a classic encounter.
