Switzerland and Germany will face off in their third and final Group A match at the Waldstadion in Frankfurt, on the 23rd of June, at 8pm (GMT). Switzerland, under head coach Murat Yakin, has shown defensive solidity with a backline consisting of versatile defenders like Manuel Akanji, Nico Elvedi, and Ricardo Rodriguez, all backed up by world-class keeper, Yann Sommer. Switzerland’s ability to maintain possession and capitalise on set-pieces helped them top their qualifying group. On the other side, Germany, under the guidance of coach Julian Nagelsmann, focuses on a pressing style of football, utilising their attacking strengths with a formidable midfield made up of Florian Wirtz on the wing, captain Ilkay Gundogan, Toni Kroos, and creative midfielder Jamal Musiala. Given the talents on both sides, predicting the outcome of this game won’t be easy. Keep reading as we delve deeper into how this game might play out. We’ll also provide our top betting tips for this interesting matchup.
Germany has shown defensive vulnerabilities, regularly conceding goals, highlighted by a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Japan and a 3-2 loss to Turkey. Switzerland excels in set-pieces and should be able to find Germany’s weaknesses at the back through players like Xherdan Shaqiri , Manuel Akanji and Granit Xhaka. Meanwhile, Germany should also find a goal with Jamal Musiala’s dribbling ability and Thomas Muller’s experience, likely to open up Switzerland’s defence, setting up Kai Havertz for a goal. Given Germany’s tendency to score and concede more than one goal in recent games, and Switzerland’s proficiency in set-pieces, betting on both teams to score seems wise.
Despite Germany’s defensive flaws, coach Julian Nagelsmann seems to have made some improvements at the back after securing a 2-0 win against France and a 2-1 victory over the Netherlands. If they can continue this defensive form, they should be able to claim a win due to their attacking firepower, especially with the home crowd cheering them on. Although Switzerland has shown quality performances, we don’t expect them to find as many opportunities as Germany who will likely keep pressing forward, forcing Switzerland to focus on defending rather than attacking. We say Germany will just edge the win in what we anticipate will be a tightly contested match.
Germany often net two goals or more and Switzerland’s ability to capitalise on set-pieces makes a good argument for both teams to score. However, Germany’s improved defence combined with their home advantage and pressing plays, should give them the advantage, which is why we predict a scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Germany.
Switzerland’s qualifying matches consistently ended in over 2.5 goals, as their attackers frequently found the net while their defence regularly conceded against much lower-ranked teams than Germany, such as drawing against Kosovo 2-2 and Belarus 3-3. Facing Germany’s formidable attackers, such as Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala, poses a totally different kind of threat that Switzerland will struggle to deal with. Meanwhile, Germany’s defence, despite recent improvements, could be exploited by Switzerland, especially through set-pieces. Given Germany’s offensive firepower and Switzerland’s ability to score, we should see at least three goals.
