In a crucial clash for Group A supremacy, hosts Germany and neighbours Switzerland meet at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt on Sunday.
Germany followed up their 5-1 victory over Scotland in the tournament’s opening game with a 2-0 defeat of Hungary, securing their place in the knockout rounds with a game still left to play.
Switzerland, meanwhile, won their opening game against Hungary 3-1 before drawing 1-1 with Scotland.
The Swiss have avoided defeat to Germany in the duo’s last three meetings, and a point for Murat Yakin’s side here will see them join their opponents in the Round of 16 while confirming the hosts as Group A winners.

Switzerland vs. Germany lineups & team news
Switzerland are expected to have a similar starting XI to the one that was held to a 1-1 draw by Scotland on Wednesday evening, albeit Breel Embolo is getting closer to full fitness after a lengthy injury layoff and could be handed a start here to get up to match speed.
Xherdan Shaqiri, who was elevated from the bench and then scored wonderfully against Scotland, would hope to keep his spot; however, head coach Murat Yakin may take a less risky strategy against superior opponents.
Bundesliga winner Granit Xhaka and Augsburg’s Ruben Vargas, who has recovered from a foot issue, and Mainz’s Silvan Widmer are all likely to retain their places in the starting XI, while Newcastle United defender Fabian Schär should also line up at the back despite breaking his nose on Matchday 2.
Meanwhile, defensive midfielder Denis Zakaria has been dealing with a thigh issue, but he is now set to rejoin the Swiss squad and take a place on the bench.
Switzerland starting lineup (3-4-2-1): Sommer (GK) — Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez — Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Aebischer — Ndoye, Vargas — Embolo
Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann made clear after the win over Hungary that he’s not planning on making many changes for their final group game against Switzerland to keep the rhythm in tact.
One possible change that’s been bandied about is Borussia Dortmund centre-back Nico Schotterbeck coming into central defense, with both Antonio Rudiger and Jonathan Tah on yellow cards.
Maximilian Mittelstadt and Robert Andrich have also been booked, but despite the risk of getting players suspended, Nagelsmann is leaning towards sticking with the same lineup that started the first two games.
That means Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is likely to captain an unchanged XI in Frankfurt, joining Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz in support of Kai Havertz up front.
Germany starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Neuer (GK) — Kimmich, Tah, Rudiger, Mittelstadt — Andrich, Kroos — Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz — Havertz
Switzerland vs. Germany prediction
- Score prediction: Switzerland 0-2 Germany
Julian Nagelsmann’s side have been firing on all cylinders so far, and their seven goals is the most Germany have ever scored in a European Championship group stage.
With Musiala and Wirtz operating as two dynamic, goal-scoring number 10s and pass masters Toni Kroos and Ilkay Gündogan behind them, Die Mannschaft have absolutely dominated both their games so far and look unlikely to relent here against the Swiss, who may still qualify for the next round despite a defeat as either the second-placed side from Group A or one of the four best third-placed sides.
