Before the start of Euro 2024, Swiss fans were extremely pessimistic. Their team had a shaky qualification campaign, conceding the top spot to the modest Romanian team. Switzerland also performed poorly in the Nations League, leading many to call for the dismissal of Murat Yakin and predict a maximum third-place finish in their group. However, Switzerland surprised all the skeptics.
In their opening match, Yakin’s team confidently defeated Hungary 3-1, with Michel Aebischer being the standout player, scoring a goal and providing an assist. In the second round, Switzerland conceded first to Scotland, but a beautiful goal from the legendary Xherdan Shaqiri secured them a draw. As a result, the Swiss have almost guaranteed themselves a spot in the playoffs, at least in second place.
The hosts of Euro 2024, who had disappointing performances in the last two World Cups and were eliminated in the round of 16 at Euro 2020, seem determined to redeem themselves for all these failures. With Julian Nagelsmann taking over as head coach, Germany has started to dominate even in friendly matches, and at the beginning of this tournament, they have shown why they were initially considered one of the main favorites for the title.
The German national team has already secured a spot in the playoffs, but they have not yet guaranteed first place. To win the group, the tournament hosts need to avoid losing to Switzerland.
In the tournament’s opening match, the “Bundesmannschaft” steamrolled Scotland with a 5-1 victory, with Scotland’s only goal being an own goal by Antonio R?diger. In their previous game, Nagelsmann’s team defeated Hungary thanks to goals from Jamal Musiala and Ilkay G?ndogan. However, based on their performance, Germany could have scored even more.
Our prediction is a victory for the Euro 2024 hosts with odds of 1.67.
