Switzerland vs Germany Prediction & Betting Tips (23 June)

Humiliated during the last World Cup in the round of 16 against Portugal 6-1, a stadium that the nation has been accustomed to reaching in recent years, Switzerland arrived in Germany on tiptoe. The Nati, however, had the opportunity to reassure themselves, inheriting a more than affordable qualifying group. Ultimately, Xhaka's teammates didn't really convince, finishing 2nd behind Romania. If the preparation matches were not unanimous either, the Helvetians nevertheless returned perfectly to their competition last Saturday. More motivated, combative and diligent than Hungary, the Swiss outclassed their opponent 3-1, joining Germany in accounting. It remains to be determined whether they will confirm this form against Scotland. Opposite, we find a Maanschaft much more attractive than it has been in recent years, like a well-conducted entry into the competition, thanks to a resounding victory against Scotland 5-1 + Hungary result.

However, this favorite status was still promised to him a few months ago. Eliminated in the group stages during the last World Cup for the second time in a row, the Germans played numerous friendly matches, the results of which were worrying to say the least. Beaten by Belgium, Poland, Colombia, Japan, Turkey and Austria, the 4-star selection had to react, seeing the Euro which it hosts getting closer week after week. It was also much more convincing during the friendly matches against France 2-0, the Netherlands 2-1 and Greece to finish 2-1. In dire need of a bond, particularly between the big names and the new additions to the selection, Germany seems to have finally found its balance, as evidenced by the winning return of Toni Kross in midfield.

Regarding the Nati, the participations of midfielder Zakaria (Monaco) and winger Zuber (AEK Athens) are not assured. Both men were missing on the first day. For this Euro 2024, the coach had the leisure to make choices to compose his list. We can particularly point out the non-calls of the experienced Mbabu (Augsburg), Sow (Sevilla FC) and Seferovic (Al Wasl, 25 goals in 93 seasons) but also of Ligue 1 residents Garcia (OM), Omeragic (Montpellier), Cömert ( Nantes) and Lotomba (Nice). The Nati produced a very good performance against Hungary, like their captains Akanji (Manchester City) and Xhaka (Leverkusen) who play a predominant role. Goalkeeper Sommer (Inter), defender Schar (Newcastle) and midfielder Freuler (Bologna) should also be renewed. Playmaker Aebischer (Bologna) stood out by scoring a goal and providing an assist. Both scorers against Hungary, the attackers Duah (Ludogorets, 1 goal in 2 sels) and Embolo (Monaco, 14 goals in 64 sels) are in competition to start up front but the entry of the Monegasque was particularly noted.

 In order to compose his group for this Euro 2024, Julian Nagelsmann had to deal with the defections of the Bavarians Pavlovic and Gnabry (22 goals in 45 sels) as well as the striker Werner (Tottenham, 24 goals in 57 sels), although this The latter did not fit into his plans. In addition, he notably chose not to call up veteran Hummels (Dortmund) and midfielder Goretzka (Bayern Munich). The attacking sector made a strong impression against Scotland and attackers Wirtz (Leverkusen), Musiala (Bayern Munich) and Havertz (Arsenal) all scored. This is also the case for substitute Füllkrug (Dortmund) who scored after coming on. In midfield, the experienced Kroos (Real Madrid) and Gündogan (Barcelona) are the guarantors of the good performance of the German game. Behind, goalkeeper Neuer (Bayern Munich), full-back Kimmich (Bayern Munich) and defender Rüdiger (Real Madrid) act as captains.
