WEB Switzerland and Germany renew epic rivalry at Euro 2024
Switzerland bidding to extend impressive record against Germany
Four goals in two games suggest another high-scoring clash on the cards
Switzerland and Germany will renew their rivalry at Euro 2024 in what promises to be an entertaining clash. The two teams have a long history of playing each other, with Switzerland having the slight edge in recent meetings. They are unbeaten in their last three matches against Germany, winning one and drawing two. Those three matches produced a remarkable 16 goals, an average of 5.3 per game.
The match will also be a special occasion for the two team captains, Granit Xhaka and Ilkay Gundogan. The pair played together at Borussia Monchengladbach for three seasons and were part of the team that won the Bundesliga title in 2011. They will now face each other as rivals on the international stage.
Germany are already through to the Round of 16, but Switzerland still need a point to secure their place in the next round. That means the hosts could rotate their squad, giving some of their fringe players a chance to impress. However, even a weakened Germany side will be a tough opponent for Switzerland.
The match is sure to be closely contested, and it could have a big impact on the outcome of the group. A win for Switzerland would put them in a strong position to reach the knockout stages, while a win for Germany would all but secure top spot in the group.
