England vs Switzerland: Euro 2024 Quarter-Final Lineups, Predictions, Team News

The electric atmosphere of the Euro 2024 quarter-finals crackles in the air as England prepares to face Switzerland in a clash dubbed the “Battle of the Crosses” today, July 06. Both teams boast a history rich in crosses – St. George’s Cross for England and the Swiss Cross for Switzerland. But on the pitch, only one cross will be triumphant. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:

England vs Switzerland Team Lineups

England:

  • Formation Shift: Southgate is heavily considering a switch to a 3-4-3 system, aiming for more solidity and width.
  • Defense Revamp: Kieran Trippier and Bukayo Saka could be deployed as wing-backs, with John Stones, Ezri Konsa, and Kyle Walker forming a central defensive trio.
  • Attacking Trio: Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden are expected to operate centrally behind Harry Kane in attack. Midfielder Declan Rice remains a doubt with a slight knock.

Switzerland:

  • Sticking to the Plan: Manager Murat Yakin is likely to stick with his successful 3-4-2-1 formation.
  • Experienced Backline: The dependable pairing of Manuel Akanji and Fabian Schar will marshal the defence alongside Ricardo Rodriguez.
  • Midfield Engine: Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler will provide solidity in midfield.
  • Attacking Threat: Breel Embolo will lead the line upfront, with Ruben Vargas and Dan Ndoye offering pace and creativity on the flanks.

Team news: A Tight Battle Looms

England arrives with a weight on their shoulders. Despite reaching the quarter-finals, their performances have been far from convincing. Fans are yearning for a return of the attacking flair that propelled them to the World Cup final in 2022. Manager Gareth Southgate faces a crucial decision – stick with the familiar four-at-the-back formation or switch to a more defensive three-man backline to bolster their shaky defence.

Meanwhile, Switzerland marches into the quarter-finals with the swagger of an underdog on a roll. They stunned the tournament by knocking out the defending champions, Italy, and boast an impressive eight-game unbeaten streak. Their well-drilled 3-4-2-1 formation, spearheaded by the experienced Granit Xhaka in midfield and the clinical Breel Embolo upfront, has proven highly effective.

England vs Switzerland Predictions:

  • Opta Analyst predicts a close encounter, with England edging it 45.6% to win in normal time. However, Switzerland shouldn’t be discounted, with a 24.8% chance of victory and a high possibility (29.6%) that the game goes to extra time. Overall, England is favoured to progress (61.6% chance) considering extra time and penalties.
  • Experts are divided. Some believe England’s experience in big tournaments will see them through. However, Switzerland’s current form and tactical awareness pose a significant threat.

This is a match that could go either way. England will be under pressure to deliver a convincing performance, while Switzerland will look to exploit any weaknesses and continue their giant-killing run.

Don’t miss this high-stakes encounter! The match kicks off on Saturday, July 6th at 6 PM CAT at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf. However, you can catch all the action on SuperSport or the Euro 2024 official website.
