Euro 2024 hosts Germany are aiming for a perfect group stage as they face Switzerland on Sunday night. Already qualified for the last 16, Germany needs only a point to secure the top spot in Group A. Ahead of the Germany vs Switzerland game let us take a look at the predictions.
Germany vs Switzerland Prediction
The Opta supercomputer favours Germany with a 52.3% chance of winning. A draw, beneficial for both teams, is predicted at 24.2%, while Switzerland’s chances of victory stand at 23.5%. Switzerland has troubled Germany in the past, but Germany, being the stronger team on paper, should be able to secure a win.
Germany form
Julian Nagelsmann’s side has been impressive, scoring seven goals in the group stage, the most Germany has ever scored at this stage in a European Championship. They are just the second team to score seven goals in their first two games of a European Championship campaign, alongside the Netherlands at Euro 2008.
Jamal Musiala, with two of those goals, is aiming to become the first German player to score in each of his nation’s opening three games at a major tournament since Miroslav Klose at the 2002 World Cup. With Musiala and Florian Wirtz as dynamic number 10s, and Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gündogan controlling the midfield, Germany has dominated their matches so far.
Switzerland form
Switzerland faces the challenging task of stopping them. They followed up an impressive win against Hungary on Matchday 1 with a more restrained performance against Scotland, resulting in a 1-1 draw. However, their four points place them comfortably in second place.
Swiss hasn’t lost their final group game in any of their last eight major international tournament appearances (W5 D3), last doing so at Euro 2004 against France.
