Switzerland have matched their best record in the Euros by reaching the quarterfinals in back-to-back editions, and they are now facing another difficult opponent in England in a tricky game. The Three Lions have never won the Euro Championship before as well, but they are still the favorites to win the title, even after a heavy matchup against Slovakia.
The winner of this matchup will face the winner between the Netherlands and Turkey. The A-Team have never beaten England in the Euro Championship before, so can they change that this year after beating Italy in the round of 16?

According to the best football sportsbooks in Europe, England are the favorites at 2.30 (13/10). A draw is offered at 3.0 (2/1), while Switzerland will be the slight underdogs at 3.80 (14/5) to upset the Three Lions in the quarterfinals.
The Three Lions have absolutely dominated this matchup historically, as in the last nine head-to-head games, England won eight and drew once. The last time Switzerland beat them was in the World Cup qualifications, which was 43 years ago.
England haven’t been convincing in the tournament so far, especially with the number of quality players that they have. The playoffs Euro 24 football odds still have them as the favorite, even though they were one minute away from getting knocked out by Slovakia. The Three Lions are still unbeaten, but they need to step up offensively for them to win the title.
Jude Bellingham came in clutch to save England from a defeat to Slovakia, and Harry Kane scored his second goal of the tournament to give them the win in overtime. Marc Guehi has been solid for the Three Lions at the back, but he will be suspended in this game.
Switzerland knocked out the defending champions, Italy, in style in the round of 16, as we predicted. The Swiss have been excellent offensively in this tournament, scoring seven goals so far. They always play well as underdogs, as they handled the pressure well in their games against Italy and Germany. The A-Team might very well be the dark horses of the 2024 Euro.
Everyone in the Swiss attack has been involved in their goals in one way or another, as seven different players have scored for Switzerland in this tournament. Remo Freuler and Granit Xhaka have been the best players for the team, and they are making a solid midfield, but the latter can miss the game due to injury concerns.

England have had the fewest average shots on goal in the whole tournament, and they have been very disappointing offensively, scoring only four goals in four games in the tournament. Switzerland have conceded only one shot on target in their game with Italy, and they are a very solid team defensively.
The Euro football bookmakers have some enticing odds for Bukayo Saka not having a shot on target. The English winger hasn’t had any shots on target in four games so far, and he is playing very wide on the wing, so his chances of getting a shot are quite low.

Ezri Konsa is expected to replace the suspended Marc Guehi in this game. The English defender hadn’t played a full 90 minutes in over a month, so his match fitness isn’t the best right now. The English defense has received three yellow cards in the last two games, as they have been defending deep, while Switzerland keep attacking even when they are ahead, so there’s a good value on Konsa getting booked here.

Switzerland and England are very capable of scoring in this game. The Swiss are one of the best-attacking teams in the tournament so far, while the Three Lions have a lot of talents in the offense like Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka. Switzerland have had at least two goals in six consecutive games, so we expect at least a push in this matchup.
It’s hard to predict which team will win this close matchup, but there’s a nice value in Saka not having a shot on target, as well as the over on the goals.
