Winner of Switzerland vs Germany Clinches Group A
Euro 2024 Switzerland vs Germany: Group Stage Closer
Germany Become First Team to Clinch Last 16 Place
On Wednesday, hosts Germany became the first team to book their place in the Euro 2024 knockout stage. Germany took down Hungary 2-0 but they still need to grab a draw or victory against Switzerland on Sunday to ensure they win Group A. Switzerland are 1-1-0 at the moment, and drew 1-1 on Wednesday in a match against Scotland. With both teams likely to advance regardless of the result, we’ll preview the Euro 2024 Switzerland vs Germany odds.

Switzerland vs Germany Head-to-Head:
Neighbors Germany and Switzerland were in the same group in the 2020-21 UEFA Nations League. Switzerland took a 2-0 lead in Cologne and the match finished in a thrilling 3-3 draw. In the reverse fixture, the teams drew 1-1.
This Euro 2024 Switzerland vs Germany matchup marks the third meeting of the last ten years. Still, Switzerland are unbeaten in the last three matches of this fixture. The Nati defeated Germany 5-3 in a 2012 friendly but it’s Germany’s only loss in the last 21 matches between the sides.
Switzerland on Brink of Another Knockout Stage Appearance
On Wednesday, Xherdan Shaqiri became the only European player to score in the last six major tournaments. The Chicago Fire winger did it in style as he pounced on an errant Scotland back pass and curled the ball into the net with a first-time shot. Shaqiri’s goal canceled out Scott McTominay’s goal for Scotland and the match finished 1-1. Manuel Akanji made a crucial clearance late on which preserved the draw.
Given the draw and last weekend’s 3-1 win over Hungary, Switzerland will likely go through to the knockout stage no matter what. Still, Murat Yakin will want his players to pick up a win here to go through as group winners. Switzerland have made the knockout stage in each of their last six major tournament appearances. However, they’ve never gone past the Quarter-Finals at a major tournament.
Breel Embolo had a goal called back when he came on, on Wednesday, and he’s looked sharp in limited minutes. The Monaco striker could join the starting lineup once he regains his fitness. While Switzerland have conceded in three straight games, they are unbeaten in 2024, with a 3-3-0 record.
Germany Score Seven in First Two Matches
Ilkay Gundogan won the Player of the Match award and scored the second goal in Germany’s 2-0 win against Hungary on Wednesday. Gundogan’s smart runs into the box are an asset for Germany and he and Jamal Musiala were standouts. Hungary also had no answer for Musiala, who scored Germany’s opener and leads the tournament with two goals as of Thursday morning.
Germany have passed both tests on their Euro 2024 schedule and have already qualified for the knockout stage. They’re one of the most popular soccer picks to win the tournament. We don’t expect them to rest on their laurels here.
Julian Nagelsmann may rotate his squad a bit but we don’t expect any drastic changes, as they’ll want to win their group. In 2024, Germany have gotten off to a great start, at 5-1-0. They’ve outscored their opponents 13-3 this year.
Plus, Germany became just the second team to score seven goals in their first two games of the Euros. This is a team with a lot of attacking talent and they weren’t at their best on Wednesday but still managed to find the net twice. If Florian Wirtz and Musiala get going, it’ll be hard for anyone to stop them.
Switzerland vs Germany Match Analysis & Odds
This is expected to be the toughest game of the group stage for hosts Germany. Die Mannschaft are -135 favorites, according to the latest Euro 2024 odds. Switzerland are unbeaten in their last three matches against Germany and the Swiss will feel they can grab a point, or three, here. Switzerland come in as +370 underdogs for Sunday’s match, though.
A draw (+285) would be sufficient for both teams, and confirm first place in Group A for Germany and second place for Switzerland. Yakin will put together the best possible team he can, while it’s unclear how many changes Nagelsmann will make in Germany’s starting XI.
That said, Switzerland +0.5, +1 shows -112 Euro 2024 Switzerland vs Germany odds and it doesn’t seem like a half-bad pick. The over/under is currently set at 2.5, 3 and both teams have scored in all four matches these teams have played combined in Euro 2024 so far.
