Team News
Switzerland

Breel Embolo: After struggling with fitness before the tournament, Embolo appeared off the bench against Scotland and is likely to start against Germany.
Germany
Jamal Musiala and Robert Andrich: Both players were rested midway through the second half against Hungary. Andrich is one yellow card away from a one-game ban, which may influence team selection.
No Injury Concerns: Germany reported no injuries from their last match and could field a rotated squad, having already secured their place in the knockout stages.
Form and Head-to-Head
Germany have already won their first two matches at Euro 2024, ensuring their progression to the knockout rounds.
Switzerland, after drawing with Scotland, are in a strong position to advance, as no team with four points has failed to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.
In their head-to-head history, Germany has a clear upper hand with 35 wins compared to Switzerland's 9, and 8 matches have ended in a draw.
Notably, Switzerland broke a 56-year winless streak against Germany with a 5-3 victory in 2012 and have drawn their last two encounters.
Prediction
Much will depend on how Germany line up, given their potential for rotation.
With that in mind, Switzerland could seize the opportunity to secure a win against a possibly weakened German side.
