England vs Switzerland Prediction & Betting Tips (6 July)

England were clearly on the brink of collapse on Sunday evening against Slovakia. Trailing until the 95th minute of play, she relied on Jude Bellingham to come back to the mark and snatch extra time thanks to a magnificent acrobatic return. It was then Harry Kane who managed to propel his team into the quarter-finals by scoring his team's second goal. An elimination of the Three Lions would have had the effect of a bombshell since they were advancing as the number 1 favorites for the final victory before the start of the tournament. But it would not necessarily have been a huge surprise as their performances have been disappointing since the start of the competition. Indeed, Gareth Southgate's men only had a small success during the first round, against Serbia 1-0. They were then held in check by Denmark 1-1 then by Slovenia 0-0 after 2 totally insipid performances.

Switzerland, for its part, is far from failing in its reputation as a scratchy team in the major competitions. Never cited among the favorites for final victory, the Nati nevertheless finished in 2nd position in a tough group, just behind Germany but ahead of Hungary and Scotland. She even came within seconds of finishing first by leading in her last group match against the Mannschaft before conceding the equalizer in the final moments of the game 1-1. Before that, Murat Yakin's men were able to win against Hungary 3-1 before being held to a draw by Scotland 1-1. In the 1/8 final, the Helvetii, on the other hand, delivered a very solid performance to logically eliminate Italy, the reigning European champion, 2-0.

As indicated above, the savior of this English team is called Jude Bellingham. However, missing the point during most of the match against Slovakia, the Real Madrid player freed his partners by scoring a formidable return to send his team into extra time in what was his only real shot. shine of the game. He should logically be aligned again as playmaker while Harry Kane, scorer during extra time, will start up front. On the sides, Saka (Arsenal) and Foden (Man City) struggle to convince while Rice tries as best he can to shine in the midfield. He could be accompanied by Mainoo who put in a decent performance against Slovakia for his first start in the competition. The hinge should once again be made up of Stones and Guéhi while Walker and Trippier should be returned to the corridors.

Suspended against Italy, the titular right piston Widmer (Mainz) will make his return and he could even start in his corridor, which could allow the former Niçois Ndoye (Bologna) to find a place higher up on the pitch. In front of goalkeeper Sommer (Inter), we should once again find the solid defense composed of Schär (Newcastle), Akanji (Man City) and Ricardo Rodriguez (Torino) while the captain Xhaka (Bayer Leverkusen) should maintain the defense of his coach for midfield work alongside Freuler (Bologna), decisive against Italy. Also a scorer against the Nazionale, winger Vargas (Augsburg) could also start. The Monegasque Embolo is less comfortable as a center forward in this competition but he could also start. Conversely, men like Shaqiri (Chicago Fire), Sierro (Toulouse) or Okafor (Milan AC) should take their place on the bench.
