Germany is on a mission to make history by finishing the Euro group stage with maximum points for the first time since 2012. With two convincing wins under their belt, they are confident of achieving this feat.
Switzerland, however, has the upper hand, boasting an unbeaten record in their last three meetings against Germany. The Swiss team has also been impressive in the tournament, with a draw against Scotland and a win over Hungary, making them strong contenders for a last-16 spot.
The stakes are high, and the tension is palpable. Switzerland coach Murat Yakin acknowledges Germany's spectacular form but is confident in his team's abilities. He said the following;
Hope counts for very little in matches such as this. It's all about the quality you can produce on the pitch. Germany have been playing spectacular football. We can't wait to get out there and play.
Julian Nagelsmann, Germany's coach, is focused on winning the group and gaining momentum. He said the following:
We want to win the group, that's our primary objective. It's always nicer when you win the group. I'd prefer to avoid a big opponent in the last 16, but we can't influence the results in other groups.
Both teams are in great form, with Switzerland unbeaten in their last six matches and Germany boasting five wins and a draw in their last six games.
The possible line-ups suggest a thrilling contest, with top players like Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, and Serge Gnabry featuring for Germany, while Switzerland will rely on the skills and experience of Yann Sommer, Granit Xhaka, and Breel Embolo.
Switzerland possible starting lineup:
Sommer, Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez, Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Aebischer, Ndoye, Vargas, Embolo
Germany possible starting lineup:
Neuer, Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, Mittelstadt, Andrich, Kroos, Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz, Havertz
This match promises to be an intense battle, with Switzerland seeking to maintain their unbeaten record against Germany and secure a last-16 spot. Germany, on the other hand, is determined to make history and finish the group stage with maximum points.
