Euro 2024: Germany faces Switzerland with both teams unbeaten and eyeing top spot in Group A
The Hindu
Germany aims for third win against Switzerland in Group A, securing a spot in the knockout stage.
Germany goes for a third straight win in Group A against a Switzerland team that also is unbeaten. Germany has advanced to the knockout stage, and Switzerland is sure to confirm its place on June 23.
The kick-off in Frankfurt — at the same time as group rivals Hungary and Scotland meet in Stuttgart — is 9 pm local (1900 GMT, 12.30 AM [Monday]).
Here's what to know about the match:
— Both teams impressed in their first games: Germany routed Scotland 5-1 and Switzerland beat Hungary 3-1. Germany sustained its form by beating Hungary 2-0, the Swiss less so in a 1-1 draw with Scotland.
— Germany has already reached the round of 16 and with just a draw will finish top of Group A. That would send Germany to Dortmund for a knockout game next Saturday against the runner-up of Group C, which is currently Denmark.
— Switzerland will top the group if it wins. That would send Germany to Berlin to play the runner-up in Group B, which likely will be Italy or Croatia.
— Only freakish results could drop Switzerland to third place in the standings. The Swiss start Sunday three points ahead of Scotland, which plays Hungary at 9 pm local time in Stuttgart. Switzerland has a huge goal-difference advantage over Scotland.
