Betting Predictions
Against Switzerland on Saturday night in Dusseldorf, England’s underperforming crop competes to advance to the Euro 2024 semi-finals by using their cunning to prevent them from hosting a rematch of the 2021 final.
The teams meet in the Merkur Spiel Arena following a thrilling escape for Gareth Southgate’s squad against Slovakia and a much-deserved victory for Murat Yakin’s team against defending champion Italy. The victor advances to a semi-final match against either Turkey or the Netherlands, promising another exciting and dramatic football evening for supporters of England and Switzerland!
Head-to-Head
Despite Switzerland’s strong form going into this match, Southgate might be feeling confident because of England’s unfavorable head-to-head record against them.
England has only lost once in their last 24 encounters with Switzerland in all competitions (W17 D6). Since a 2-1 defeat in a May 1981 World Cup qualifier, England has won 13 (W9 D4).
In their most recent match, a 2-1 friendly victory back in March 2022 at Wembley Stadium, Shaw and Kane scored goals while Embolo’s opening goal was cancelled out by the home team.
Team News
In the last-16 victory over Slovakia, Marc Guehi, the center-back for England, suffered more injury than only a bruised shoulder from trying in vain to stop Schranz from scoring. The Crystal Palace player also received a yellow card, which will keep him out of this quarterfinal.
Luke Shaw hasn’t played for England at the Euros, even though he resumed full training prior to the knockout stages. He shouldn’t be thrust back into the starting lineup after nearly five months away, therefore Kieran Trippier and Bukayo Saka might play as Southgate’s wing-backs.
Yakin should be ok and should have the easiest selection dilemma on the right side, where Silvan Widmer is back from a one-game suspension after Dan Ndoye performed admirably in his place in the victory over Italy.
Yakin’s option would be to substitute Ndoye for Fabian Rieder in the front three and send Widmer back to his natural right wing-back position, where a thrilling matchup with Saka might ensue.
Probable Line-Up
England XI:
Pickford; Walker, Konsa, Stones; Trippier, Bellingham, Rice, Foden, Saka; Kane, Toney
Switzerland XI:
Sommer; Schar, Rodriguez, Akanji; Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Aebischer; Ndoye, Vargas; Embolo
Verdict
Tip: Switzerland Win or Drawâś…
Reason
It is all to play for on Friday night because neither side has particularly impressed thus far in the tournament. Portugal seems to be playing a game too big here. They are incredibly talented offensively, but so are France, and Les Bleus also appear to have stronger defenses. Following Portugal’s 120-minute match against Slovenia, where Cristiano Ronaldo was among the players who finished, France ought to be the more experienced squad. Les Bleus could win this since they have been playing strong defense at Euro 2024, having let up only one goal thus far.

Tip: Harry Kane to Score❌
Reason
Harry Kane is currently leading a group of players with two goals in the tournament after scoring against Slovakia and Denmark and then adding the game-winning goal against Slovakia in extra time. With so many creative alternatives available to him, England’s captain and talisman striker should be among the goals if they can find the back of the net against the Swiss. Kane has the added benefit of being England’s primary penalty taker, so if the Three Lions are awarded a penalty, their record-holding captain will attempt to take the kick.
