England vs Switzerland Prediction & Match Preview

England vs Switzerland Prediction

Jude Bellingham’s last-gasp heroics rescued England at the death of the round of 16 tie with Slovakia on Sunday.

The pre-tournament favourites will now face Switzerland in the quarter-final of the 2024 Euro on Saturday afternoon at Dusseldorf Arena.

• England have won just one of four games at the Euro in regular time.
• Switzerland looked beyond impressive in the last two games against the likes of Germany and Italy.
• Four of the previous five head-to-head games between these sides ended with fewer than three goals scored.
• Switzerland go into this undefeated in eight straight outings across competitions.

England were rescued by the bell after another sloppy performance in a 2-1 extra-time win over Slovakia in the last-16 round.

Jude Bellingham notched a wonder bicycle-kick strike from the team’s inaugural shot on target in the fifth minute of added time.

Switzerland were far more impressive in their 2-‘0 victory over defending champions Italy seven days ago.

Remo Freuler and Ruben Vargas launched La Nati to a famous win, the one Murat Yakin’s troops well deserved on the occasion. They have outplayed Italy in every single aspect of the game.

Gareth Southgate will have some decisions to make ahead of this quarter-final. Firstly, he will need to find a solution for the Marc Guehi suspension.

Ezri Konsa looks like the most natural replacement, especially after coming on for Jude Bellingham at the start of the second half of the extra-time in the mentioned win over Slovakia on Sunday.

Kobbie Mainoo did enough to retain his place at the centre of the park while it will be very interesting to see whether Cole Palmer will get the chance to feature in the starting XI here after Saka’s another subpar display.

England Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1 Formation)

Pickford – Walker, Stones, Konsa, Trippier – Mainoo, Rice – Saka, Bellingham, Foden – Kane.

Switzerland Team News

Switzerland do not have any issues with injured or suspended players. We expect the same starting XI from the clash against the reigning champions.

Switzerland Predicted Lineup (3-4-2-1 Formation)

Sommer – Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez – Aebischer, Freuler, Xhaka, Rieder – Vargas, Ndoye – Embolo.

England are not pulling any trees these days

Switzerland have shown incomparably better football than England so far in the tournament. We can hardly bet against them in this matchup.

Murat Yakin’s men were especially impressive in the previous two matches. They shipped a last-gasp equalizer to Germany in the battle for the top spot in the Group A. La Nati went on to beat Italy in a dominant display in the round of 16.

Switzerland are thus still unbeaten in the competition despite facing some serious opponents along the way.

England have been struggling to perform since the very start of the tournament and yet they’ve somehow managed to reach the quarter-final purely on individual quality of their stars.

Nevertheless, Switzerland are by far the toughest opponent for them at the Euro and Gareth Southgate’s men will need to step up drastically to get a result on Saturday.

We will back Switzerland to win or draw double chance bet at the odds of 1.66.

Backing a low-scoring scenario is the way to go

Both teams have been excellent defensively throughout the whole tournament. We by no means expect goals galore when they come across each other in such an important clash.

None of England’s last five outings across competitions produced three or more goals. Similarly, just two of Switzerland’s last eleven matches provided at least three goals.

Switzerland have conceded only three goals in four fixtures at the Euro. They limited Italy to just a single attempt on target last weekend in the round of 16.

England shipped just two goals in four games at the 2024 Euro. Finally, four of the previous five H2H encounters between these rivals ended with fewer than three goals scored.

Braver tipsters can chase the Under 1.5 goals bet at the odds of 2.62.
