Stat Attack
- This is Switzerland’s first-ever meeting against Germany at European Championships.
- Germany have lost one of six previous competitive meetings against Switzerland in all competitions (W2, D3, L1).
- Switzerland are unbeaten in their last three meetings against Germany despite not keeping a clean sheet (W1, D2).
- The Swiss have conceded first in two of their last three matches (W1, D2), of which those two games ended in 1-1 draws against Austria and Scotland respectively.
- Jamal Musiala has scored in each of his last two appearances for Germany (W2).
Prediction
With top spot at stake yet a chance of finishing third if they lose and Scotland beat Hungary, Switzerland can’t really rest players and must just go for it here but be more clinical than they were against the Tartan Army.
Germany meanwhile can rest players which I imagine will happen but given that top spot isn’t assured, I do expect rotation to be minimal really because this is their toughest test yet but they do look solid across the pitch and should really get a result here.
Switzerland though are just as tough to break down so I wouldn’t be surprised if this contest becomes scrappy and finishes level.
Prediction: Switzerland 1-1 Germany
Result: Switzerland 1-1 Germany
