It is a battle for Group A supremacy as hosts Germany take on Switzerland at Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park. Having already secured their spot in the last 16 with a 2-0 victory over Hungary, following their 5-1 triumph over Scotland, Germany only need a point on Sunday to win the group.
Die Mannschaft boss Julian Nagelsmann has already stated the team’s objective: achieving first place in Group A. “Top spot is important. We want to win all our matches,” he said. If successful, Germany would become the third host nation to win all three group stage games at a single European Championship, after the Netherlands in 2000 and France in 1984.
Nagelsmann substituted both teenage sensation Jamal Musiala and midfielder Robert Andrich midway through the second half against Hungary. This ensures Musiala will be fresh for Switzerland. Andrich, on the other hand, might be left out altogether as he is a yellow card away from a suspension. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is on the brink of making history by becoming the goalkeeper with the most Euro appearances. If he starts on Sunday, he will surpass Gianluigi Buffon’s record of 17 tournament appearances.
Switzerland Eye Upset
However, Switzerland will be no pushovers. They sit just two points behind in second and require a win to overtake the hosts. Even a defeat wouldn’t necessarily spell the end of their Euro hopes, as no team with four points has ever failed to progress as one of the best third-placed teams.
Their recent record against Germany will also give them confidence. They are unbeaten in their last three matches against Die Mannschaft (W1, D2). These encounters have been high-scoring affairs, producing 16 goals, an average of 5.3 per game.
Switzerland will also be looking to unleash the firepower of star striker Breel Embolo. After battling fitness issues leading up to the tournament, Embolo made a substitute appearance against Scotland and is now expected to get the starting nod against Germany.
Betting Tips: Over 2.5 Goals
23/06 20:00 Switzerland – Germany Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.84 (Betwinner)
Recent encounters between these teams have been high-scoring, with 16 goals recorded in their last three meetings. This trend should continue on Sunday as Germany, supported by a passionate home crowd, strive for a victory that will secure top position in the group and match the record for group-stage wins by a tournament host.
Switzerland should also get opportunities to hurt the Germans, especially with Embrolo likely to start. A win will put them top of Group A, ensuring they avoid heavy hitters in the knockouts, and it is an opportunity they will look to make the most of.
We expect an open game with chances at both ends. Therefore, we recommend taking the Over 2.5 Goals bet on the match at 1.84 odds on Betwinner.
