England is set to battle Switzerland at the Duesseldorf Arena. This eagerly awaited Quarter Finals match of the European Championship will take place on a neutral field. The event is scheduled for Friday, July 6th, 2024, with a kickoff time of 16:00 GMT. With no team having the home advantage, the outcome is crucial for both sides. Bookmakers favor England slightly. However, Switzerland aims to upset the odds and claim a semifinal spot in this high-stakes EURO Final Stage match.

England – Form

England’s performance in the European Championship has been inconsistent. Their last game against Slovakia on June 30, 2024, ended in a 1:1 draw at home. Despite being favored, England only managed a draw, with goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane in extra time. They previously had a goalless draw against Slovenia at home. Another 1:1 draw followed this away to Denmark, with Harry Kane scoring. These outcomes suggest England’s performance has been steady.

Switzerland – Form

Switzerland has shown remarkable resilience, with their last three matches ending in draws. They played Austria to a 1:1 draw in a Friendlies match on June 29, 2024. This was unexpected, considering Austria’s winning streak. In the European Championship, they drew 1:1 with Scotland away, with Xherdan Shaqiri scoring. A 1:1 draw with Germany also occurred, with Dan Ndoye scoring for Switzerland. These results met bookmakers’ expectations.

England – Switzerland – Head to Head

The last encounter between England and Switzerland was on March 26, 2022. England won 2:1 in an international friendly match. England has dominated the last 10 matches with 9 wins. Switzerland has not won, and only one match ended in a draw. In the last 5 head-to-head clashes, both teams scored only once. England has won 9 of their last 10 matches against Switzerland, scoring in each. Four of these victories had less than 3.5 total goals.

England – Switzerland – Standings

The upcoming match between England and Switzerland in the quarter-finals is at the Duesseldorf Arena. In this stage of the European Championship, league standings are irrelevant. The focus is on each team’s journey to this point. As this is a EURO Final Stage match, there are no points or positions to consider. The aim is to advance and keep their European dreams alive.

The neutral venue adds an element of unpredictability to this quarter-final clash. Alternative betting markets offer various odds, reflecting the teams’ strong forms.

England vs Switzerland – Over/Under Betting

The Over/Under market suggests a cautious approach to goal scoring. England’s consistent scoring against Switzerland contrasts with their recent low-scoring matches.
