Switzerland-Germany, the Germans are already certain to play the round of 16, the Swiss almost: an eventful match looms in Frankfurt.
Two wins out of two for host Germany. Two clear wins that earned them a pass to the round of 16 with ninety minutes to spare. Julian Nagelsmann’s selection, after the 2-0 win over Hungary, is certain to play in the knockout stage. It only remains to be seen whether it will do so as first or second in the group.
To finish ahead of everyone Neuer and his teammates will only need not to lose to Switzerland on the final day of the group stage, strong with a 2-point lead over Murat Yakin’s men. The qualification of the Swiss-Swiss to the round of 16 is not in question: the mathematics, however, will come only after the match with the Mannschaft in Frankfurt, since it will be necessary to wait for the result of the match between Scotland and Hungary, which will be played at the same time. Switzerland has 3 more points than the Scots but also a better goal difference and will most likely qualify as second even if they lose to Germany. Valuable, in this sense, the draw (1-1) snatched last Wednesday against the British representative, reeled in by the amulet Shaqiri, always in goal in the final stages of the European Championship since the 2016 edition organized by France.
Switzerland-Germany, Fullkrug can make his mark
Of the main candidates for the final victory the one that convinced the most, along with Spain, was Germany. Despite having faced opponents in reach such as Scotland and Hungary, the Germans on the field showed egregious things, proving that they have, more or less, the same chances of success as initially more highly rated representatives such as England and France.
Nagelsmann against Switzerland will take advantage to rest someone, but no “pushed” turnover. Up front it will be Fullkrug’s turn, ready to take Havertz’s place. The Borussia Dortmund slinger when called upon has responded presently, even finding the way to goal as a substitute against Scotland, and it is not certain that he cannot repeat himself against the Helvetians in a match that promises to be eventful.
The star of Musiala, so far the best player of the European Championship, already with 2 goals, will likely continue to shine: from him and we expect at least two shots on goal, but also keep an eye on Wirtz, Germany’s other young talent, who should attempt at least three conclusions including the substitute who should be Sané, one of the brightest coming off the bench against Hungary (three shots including one on goal), and Kimmich, who although playing right-back has made himself dangerous several times. In Switzerland, Ndoye could repeat the good performance he gave against Scotland: all he lacked was a goal. A token, finally, is worth betting on the usual Shaqiri. Among the potential cautioned are the Swiss Xhaka and Akanji.
