England vs. Switzerland preview
The match is scheduled for July 6, 2024, at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf, kicking off at 1:00 PM EST.
England managed to scrape past Slovakia with a last-minute goal to force extra time, where they ultimately prevailed. However, their overall performance in Germany has been far from convincing.
Despite having high-profile players, the team has struggled to dominate games, showing a lack of creativity and finishing ability.
On the other hand, Switzerland delivered a strong performance against Italy, winning convincingly in both defense and attack. They also held Germany to a 1-1 draw in the group stages, demonstrating their resilience and fighting spirit.
Under Murat Yakin, the Swiss have a solid defense, experienced players, and dynamic forwards like Ruben Vargas and Dan Ndoye, who have shown intensity and effectiveness, something England has lacked.
England vs. Switzerland betting picks
Given the generous early odds, here are three bets to consider for this match:
Switzerland to Score Over 1.5 Goals
Switzerland's ability to create chances against defensive teams and their effectiveness on the counter-attack, led by Vargas and Ndoye, makes this a promising bet.
England's defense has shown vulnerabilities, which the Swiss are well-equipped to exploit.
Dan Ndoye to Score or Assist
Dan Ndoye has been one of Switzerland's standout performers, consistently creating opportunities and taking shots.
With 13 shots and an average of 3.77 shots per game, along with a combined 0.49 expected goals and assists, these odds are appealing.
Jude Bellingham to be Booked
Bellingham's frustration has been evident in Germany, resulting in reckless challenges and a yellow card against Slovakia.
If Switzerland makes it difficult for England, expect Bellingham's aggressive play to lead to another booking.
Recap - England vs. Switzerland betting picks
Switzerland to Score Over 1.5 Goals @ +300 with bet365
Dan Ndoye to Score or Assist @ +375 with bet365
Jude Bellingham to be Booked @ +550 with bet365
