England clash with Switzerland at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf on 6 July, with Gareth Southgate having seen his team reach this stage of Euro 2024 without playing well. It hasn’t stopped the football betting sites from making the Three Lions favourites to win, with the bookies anticipating that their key players can help them over the line.
Jude Bellingham provided a moment of magic to prevent a humiliating exit at the hands of Slovakia, while Harry Kane has been in the right place on a couple of occasions to help England progress. However, there have been issues with the balance of the team in Germany and they will be missing the suspended Marc Guehi for this clash.
Switzerland seem to be getting better as the tournament progresses and you could argue that they should be favourites to edge out their opponents based on the evidence available. There’s a rock-solid defence in the form of Fabian Schar, Manuel Akanji and Ricardo Rodriguez, while Granit Xhaka is a key performer alongside Remo Freuler.
Although the Swiss aren’t as strong as England player-for-player, they have proven to be a more cohesive unit at the tournament and perhaps they could be a good option on the Draw No Bet market. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if we saw the clash go to extra-time and possibly penalties, with a low-scoring clash potentially on the cards.
