Today, the final quarter-final matches of Euro 2024 will take place. The last semi-finalists will be determined today in the fields of Düsseldorf and Berlin. The first to clash will be the national teams of England and Switzerland.
England has been regarded as one of the main favorites of the tournament but continues to show rather inconsistent results. After just one victory in the group stage, the Three Lions only managed to defeat Slovakia in overtime.
Switzerland, on the other hand, created one of the biggest upsets in the Round of 16. Facing the reigning champions, Italy, the Crusaders confidently defeated them 2-0, not only in terms of the score but also in their overall play. In the group stage, the Swiss won once and drew twice.
It should be noted that England will be without the young talent from Crystal Palace, Marc Guehi, who will be watching the match from the stands due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Ahead of today's match, during a conversation with the English press, England's primary goalkeeper Jordan Pickford stated that with the right approach, his team has every chance of winning.
"You have to show resilience, you have to show character, and we just have to keep fighting, believing, and training hard. Plan the game correctly, and on Saturday, against strong opponents, hopefully, we will be better."
In turn, Switzerland's head coach Murat Yakin compared the English team to those of Germany and Italy, expressing his belief in his squad.
"It's not for me to judge how the English played. I am focused on us. Nevertheless, we know their strengths and weaknesses. I am trying to prepare our team for them as best as I can. We were able to compete with Germany and beat Italy. Why shouldn't we have what it takes to defeat England now? We are in good form."
Both teams will fight with all their might to progress further. The English will strive to prove their status as tournament favorites, a title they were awarded long before the start of Euro 2024, while the Swiss will attempt to reach the semi-finals of the main continental tournament for the first time in history.
To achieve such a result, the coaches will undoubtedly deploy their strongest players. The Dailysports team has prepared for you the tentative starting line-ups of the teams, based on the editors' opinions and previous decisions of the coaches.
