Julian Nagelsmann’s side have looked the classiest in the competition to date, claiming six points from a possible six and scoring seven times.
The Swiss, meanwhile, should have already done enough to progress, having backed up an impressive victory over Hungary with a combative draw against Scotland in midweek.
Switzerland v Germany Best Bets
Germany may not need to win this game, but the sheer depth in their squad means they are hard to overlook at this price. Even if they rotate to some degree, they have numerous quality reserve players who can make a positive impact.
Big changes from the host nation are not likely. Two comfortable wins have allowed their squad to be managed, and to that end, the in-form Jamal Musiala to score or assist is an excellent price, and should Kai Havertz get significant minutes, backing him to concede another couple of fouls at 1.67 is a solid bet.
Look for Maximilian Mittelstadt and Dan Ndoye to have a major battle, too. The former has eight foul involvements in two matches and the latter has nine. They are both team leaders in this regard. In particular, Ndoye to commit at least two fouls at odds against looks like a good price.

📊 Switzerland Form and Stats
Switzerland have been draw specialists for much of the last 18 months; eight of their last 13 matches have finished all square.
Murat Yakin’s side have also been difficult to beat. Aside from a loss in Romania in European qualifying, they are undefeated since a 6-1 capitulation to Portugal in the 2022 World Cup.
Underpinning this has been a solid defence. The Nati have kept only three clean sheets in their last nine international matches but they have never conceded more than a single goal. Across their two fixtures at Euro 2024, they have allowed 2 xG against and have conceded exactly two goals.
The rearguard is both solid and experienced, but further up the field, there is more flexibility, which was reflected by the fact that Yakin felt comfortable bringing Xherdan Shaqiri into the starting XI against Scotland after Kwadwo Duah had scored against Hungary.
Breel Embolo, meanwhile, looks like being a potent threat off the bench. He netted against Hungary and had a goal disallowed for a marginal offside against Scotland.
Wingers Dan Ndoye and Ruben Vargas are a big part of Yakin’s plans. Ndoye has mustered seven shots across the two matches to date, but only one on target, while Vargas has four shots, three of which have worked the keeper.
Ndoye is also active in the fouls market. He has committed four himself but has been a victim on five occasions. He is 1.57 to be fouled multiple times here and 2.38 to give away multiple fouls, which he has done in both games to date.
Meanwhile, the Swiss have picked up at least two cards in eight of their last nine matches. The exception was a 4-0 friendly win over Estonia. They are 1.87 to continue this trend.
📊 Germany Form and Stats
Germany’s improvement under Julian Nagelsmann has been stark and means that a strong bias should be placed upon recent results and performances. The former Bayern Munich boss took over a dysfunctional team and he has brought much of the swagger back. Germany have won five of their last six matches.
They have, arguably, overperformed at Euro 2024 so far, though. They have scored seven goals from 3.6 xG, and while there must be questions over whether they can sustain this type of efficiency, there were also some doubts defensively against a direct Hungarian side on Wednesday. Germany gave up 1 xG but kept a clean sheet, despite a wobbly performance from Manuel Neuer.
The star of the show so far has been Jamal Musiala, who has scored in both games. He now has a goal or assist in five of his last eight for Germany and is rapidly becoming a key figure. At 2.4 to score or assist, he offers strong value.
Look for Leroy Sane, meanwhile, to have an impact either from the bench or if he starts. No German player has managed more than his six shots or three shots on target in this tournament. Remarkably, Sane has only played cameo roles totalling 61 minutes. That’s 8.57 shots and 4.29 shots on target per 90.
Germany’s offensive depth is formidable, and even if they make changes, they will feel confident of continuing a run that has seen them score at least twice in five of their last six. Among their reserves, Niclas Fullkrug and Emre Can both scored against Scotland.
Kai Havertz is the only German player to have committed more than one foul in the tournament who has not been booked. Robert Andrich, Maximilian Mittelstadt, Jonathan Tah and Antonio Rudiger may all be protected to some extent before the last 16 as they have been cautioned, which is likely to mean they are less likely to be overzealous in tackles.
Havertz, meanwhile, had two fouls against Scotland and three against Hungary in just 119 total minutes, and he is 1.67 to continue that here by giving away multiple free kicks.
⚔️ Switzerland v Germany Head-to-Head
These neighbouring nations have surprisingly little history between them over the last decade.
Switzerland are undefeated in their last three against Germany, but they will also be acutely aware that was the case for Hungary before they were the victims of a 2-0 loss against Die Mannschaft.
The latest fixtures between these sides came in the autumn of 2020 when they played a couple of Nations League games.
The first of those ended 1-1 in Switzerland, with Ilkay Gundogan and Silvan Widmer on target. Around a month later, they played out a 3-3 thriller in Koln. Remo Freuler and Kai Havertz, who also got an assist, were among the scorers. Fabian Schar, meanwhile, saw a late red card.
