Head to head


The Three Lions have played Switzerland at men’s senior level on 27 occasions, registering 19 wins, drawing five and losing three times. The first meeting came back in 1933 when the nations met in a friendly game in Bern that ended in a 4-0 victory for the Three Lions. 

They have met twice previously at EURO Finals, when they drew 1-1 at Wembley in the opening game of EURO ’96 and then at EURO 2004 when England ran out as 3-0 winners, which was also in the group stage.
