Switzerland - Germany Predicted line-ups and latest news, – June 23, 2024

Today marks the commencement of the final round of the group stage at Euro 2024. Group A teams will be the first to determine their fate for playoff spots, with Switzerland and Germany facing off in one of the matches.

Switzerland began the tournament impressively, confidently defeating Hungary 3-1 in their first match. They then faced a challenge against Scotland, where they had to come from behind to secure a draw. Switzerland even scored two additional goals, both disallowed after VAR reviews. To advance to the playoffs, Switzerland needs any result other than a loss, while a Scotland defeat would also suffice regardless of their result.

Germany exhibited somewhat inconsistent results leading up to Euro 2024 but demonstrated serious intent from the first match. In the opening game against Scotland, Die Mannschaft delivered a resounding 5-1 victory, followed by a confident 2-0 win over Hungary, ensuring their early passage out of the group. A win or draw will see Germany advance from the top spot, while a loss will place them second.

Switzerland faces minor injury issues with three players. Midfielders Denis Zakaria (Monaco) and Steven Zuber (AEK), along with Newcastle defender Fabian Schär, will miss the match due to injuries. All other players from both teams are ready for the upcoming game.

Before the match, Switzerland's head coach Murat Yakin expressed his anticipation for an engaging and fierce contest:

"This will be an interesting game that we eagerly await. It will be a clash between myself and Julian, a battle of tactics. We want to give our all.

Over two-thirds of our squad have played club football in Germany, and we want to perform well and make Swiss fans proud.

Germany is a very strong team, and Nagelsmann's style is meticulously detailed. He scrutinizes every square inch of the field.

But we don’t intend to merely defend; we aim to showcase our players' skills and take control of the game."

Germany's head coach Julian Nagelsmann stated they plan to maintain their current strategy:

"We play football to win. Tomorrow will be the same. We cannot influence who our opponent will be in the playoffs. We want to maintain our rhythm. It doesn't matter who the next opponent is."

Both teams are likely to fight for the top spot in their group. The team finishing first will face the second-place team from Group C, likely Denmark or Slovenia. Meanwhile, the second-place team will potentially face the reigning European champions, Italy, who are expected to finish second in Group B.

Fans can expect a fierce battle, and the coaches will certainly use their strongest players. The Dailysports team has prepared information for you with possible starting lineups of teams, in the opinion of the editors, based on previous decisions of the mentors.
