England vs Switzerland: Prediction, kick-off time, team news, odds, h2h

The England national football team barely managed to advance on Sunday night after a thrilling comeback against Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen. Jude Bellingham scored an incredible last-minute bicycle kick equalizer, followed by an early header from captain Harry Kane in extra time, securing a memorable 2-1 victory.

Underwhelming Team C champions England were close to a embarrassing elimination and maybe even the end of Gareth Southgate's time as coach after a disappointing performance. However, a sudden and exciting comeback at the Arena AufSchalke saved their tournament chances.

However, Southgate's team will need to improve significantly against the experienced Swiss team, who are feeling very confident after narrowly missing out on first place in Group A to Germany. The Swiss recently secured a well-deserved 2-0 victory over Italy in the last-16 match, with goals from Remo Freuler and Ruben Vargas.

Latest Updates On England Vs Switzerland Match Lineup

England had all their players available for the match against Slovakia, and manager Southgate only made one substitution by bringing in Kobbie Mainoo for Conor Gallagher in the midfield.

The young player from Manchester United should continue to play alongside Declan Rice in the center of the England team, following a strong performance in Gelsenkirchen. However, there is a tough choice to be made in the defense, as Marc Guehi - who has stood out playing next to John Stones in the heart of the defense while Harry Maguire was injured during the Euros - is now suspended for the quarter-finals after receiving his second yellow card of the tournament.

Yellow cards will stay on a player's record until the last-eight stage, resulting in a one-match ban for the Crystal Palace defender. A good choice to replace him would be Lewis Dunk from Brighton, though Kyle Walker could also step in as a center-back if necessary.

It is uncertain if Southgate will make more adjustments against Switzerland after waiting until the last moment to make changes in the previous round, which upset both fans and experts.

England will not have defender Marc Guehi available to play against Switzerland due to suspension.

Another alteration might be required as Kieran Trippier was substituted due to an injury from a rough challenge during the match against Slovakia. This led to Bukayo Saka moving to the left-back position and Cole Palmer entering the attacking line-up. Palmer showed promise once again in his brief appearance, as did Ivan Toney and Eberechi Eze.

Luke Shaw, the only dedicated left-back for England in the Euros, was unable to play in the tournament until now due to a hamstring injury he had since February. Southgate mentioned that he may have the opportunity to play against Switzerland.

Silvan Widmer will be back in the right wing-back position for Switzerland in the match against England, following a one-game suspension in the victory against Italy.

The head coach, Murat Yakin, has a tough choice to make about who will be left out of the starting lineup for the next game. A change in positions for Michel Aebischer and Fabian Rieder, who both played as wing-backs in the last game against Italy, might result in either Dan Ndoye or goal-scorer Vargas being benched.

England-Switzerland Match Prediction

England's performance against Slovakia was very poor for the most of the game. This tournament has been very frustrating for them, but it hit rock bottom before Bellingham and Kane saved the day in a dramatic fashion.

If they perform like that again against a skilled, confident, and threatening Swiss team, they will definitely be eliminated in a disrespectful manner in Dusseldorf.

Switzerland is clearly a stronger team compared to Slovakia and will be eagerly seeking another surprise victory after eliminating the reigning champions with ruthless efficiency.

The victory against Slovakia, although satisfying for England fans, should not hide the significant flaws in their performance. Critics will still have concerns about the team's ability, especially when they were once again under pressure after taking the lead during extra time in Gelsenkirchen.

But the top contenders before the tournament might have gotten the morale boost they needed to kickstart their otherwise lackluster season.

This could turn into a very difficult and tiresome night, and the possibility of a penalty shootout cannot be ignored. However, if England cannot improve their performance now, they may never be able to.

"Head To Head History & Results"

These two countries have played against each other 27 times in the past, and England has not been defeated by Switzerland since 1981. Prior to that loss, England had not lost to Switzerland since consecutive defeats in 1938 and 1947.

In the past 13 matches, England has emerged victorious in 10 of them. One of their recent wins was a 2-1 triumph in a friendly match at Wembley in March 2022. Goals from Kane and Shaw helped the Three Lions to a comeback victory.

England achieved a victory over Switzerland in a penalty shootout, with a score of 6-5, after a tie game with no goals during the third-place match at the first Nations League Finals held in Portugal in 2019.
