Switzerland v Germany Euro 2024 Group A preview

As the curtain comes down on the group stages at Euro 2024, the Waldstadion in Frankfurt is set to host a thrilling encounter between Switzerland and Germany. The stakes are high, with both teams vying for top spot in Group A and a place in the knockout stages.

So, what can we expect from these two teams when they take to the pitch on Sunday evening? Germany will be looking to continue their unbeaten run, while Switzerland will be eager to cause an upset and snatch the top spot.

Germany are the heavy favourites to pick up all three points and make it nine out of a possible nine on Saturday evening, but for the Swiss a draw is enough to see them move into the knockouts, so that could also be worth a punt.

For Germany, Julian Nagelsmann has made it clear he won't be making wholesale changes to his starting XI. Despite having a few players on the cusp of suspension, Nagelsmann wants to maintain momentum and continuity. That means we can expect to see the same lineup that has delivered six points so far, with Emre Can, Leroy Sane, and Niclas Fullkrug waiting in the wings. 
 
Xherdan Shaqiri will be hoping to keep his place in the Switzerland lineup after his stunning goal against Scotland last time out. However, the Swiss coach has a tough decision to make up front, with Breel Embolo pushing for a start after coming off the bench in the last two matches. Newcastle defender Fabian Schar, who suffered a broken nose against Scotland, is expected to be fine to start.

Here are our predicted lineups for the match: 
 
Switzerland: Sommer; Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez; Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Aebischer; Ndoye, Vargas, Embolo 
 
Germany: Neuer; Kimmich, Rüdiger, Tah, Mittelstadt; Andrich, Kroos; Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz; Havertz
