Germany has already qualified for the knockout stage of the Euro, but as it stands not the same can be said for Switzerland. Although in a strong position for the second spot, one more point ought to do the trick. Against hosts Germany this seems achievable given the fact that it is likely for Julian Nagelsmann to field an alternative starting XI featuring a lot more substitutes.

Murat Yakin and his men have a reason to be pleased as they are all but certain to qualify for the knockout phase. Yet, there is a small chance that is still in the realm of possibility that this does not happen. A point against Germany will seal the deal for the Swiss, should they manage to get it. In the previous game against Scotland, the team had 2 goals disallowed and could be fuming that they did not win. But so far Switzerland has shown good things in their play and they certainly look capable of scoring. Some questions remain about their defence, but one thing is for sure – they will look to better their previous Euro campaign where they reached the quarter-finals.
Germany Team News
With 6 points in the bad, hosts Germany have secured their round of 16 berth. With the final group stage fixture against Switzerland being just a formality it will not be a surprise to see Julian Nagelsmann give minutes to the players outside of his usual starting XI. But if somebody thinks that the quality will drop they will probably be in for a rude awakening as players like Nico Schlotterbeck, Emre Can, Leroy Sané, Niclas Füllkrug, Waldemar Anton, Marc-André ter Stegen to name a few, are waiting for their chance to prove that they deserve a starting spot in this German team.
Head-to-Head-Games
Switzerland and Germany usually put out interesting games between one another with lots of goals being involved. All of their last 5 meetings produced over 2.5 goals with 3 fixtures even managing over 3.5 goals. Yet, Germany has a slight advantage with 2 wins as opposed to 1 for Switzerland in these last 5 games, although their 2 most recent clashes ended in stalemates.
Switzerland – Germany Betting Prediction
For this game, my pick will be over 2.5 goals. It seems to be the norm when Switzerland and Germany play against one another. Although the stakes might not be that high, especially for Germany, I expect a lot of their less-featured players so far to be given a chance. When such a thing is done, usually the reserve players put in an extra shift to prove themselves. My expectation is for something similar to happen here and for all to see some goals in this game.
