Betting tip and prediction: Switzerland vs Germany (23.06.2024)
Both teams have had a great start to the tournament. Germany is already qualified for the next stage, while Switzerland is in a great position to do the same.
Germany has had full control of both of the previous two games, and the same will be the case against Switzerland as well. There is no doubt that Switzerland is the toughest opponent in the group, but there will be no pressure on Germany since they do not need to win to keep the top seed in the group. However, Germany plays for more than just points in this tournament, wanting to be perfect in front of their fans.
Switzerland will be the more motivated team since they are a competitive team that plays offensively. It will take a while for any team to score in this game, given the fact that both of them will be absolutely satisfied with a draw.
There is a huge possibility that Germany’s head coach, Julian Nagelsmann, will start with a different lineup in this game in order to give a chance to more players and see who he can count on as the tournament progresses. Given all this, and especially the odds, we are going with a draw in this game.
