Both teams have shown some weaknesses in defence, and with talented attacks on both sides, it is likely that each will score at least one goal. Switzerland, with players like Embolo and Vargas, could provide that for the English defence.

exact result

Given that both teams have qualified for the quarter-finals, the most likely exact result is one.

2-1 to England

Southgate's side have shown more stability at key moments, and with the likes of Kane and Bellingham, they can score the goals needed to progress to the semi-finals, even if they concede at least one goal to their opponents.

Final forecast and detailed analysis

In the direct knockout stage of Euro 2024, every detail counts, and the match between England and Switzerland is no exception. England are the favourites, as the bookmakers’ odds suggest, but Switzerland have shown fighting spirit and tactical organisation. Based on recent results, England struggled against Slovakia, winning only after extra time, while Switzerland dominated Italy with a convincing 2-0 win.

The key to the match could be England's ability to take advantage of scoring opportunities, while Switzerland will rely on their compact defence and counter-attacks. Another crucial detail is the management of absences: Southgate must replace the suspended Guehi, perhaps by bringing in Konsa in defence, while Yakin brings back an important player like Widmer.

Overall, while Switzerland are an impressive and well-organised side, England have a more talented squad and can draw on their experience from similar tournaments. My final prediction is for England to win narrowly 2-1, with both teams scoring goals, confirming the trend.
