Germany, playing as host, has shown formidable strength in UEFA Euro 2024 and is set to compete against Switzerland on Sunday in a crucial Group A match. The stakes are high as Germany aims to secure the top position in the group.
Switzerland, however, has the potential to disrupt Germany’s plans for Group A dominance and will be looking for a win. For Germany, even a draw in this match would be enough to clinch first place in Group A, and they have already guaranteed their progression to the knockout stage. A loss for Switzerland could jeopardize their entire tournament journey. Finishing second in Group A presents a challenging path forward, potentially leading to a clash with Italy, the reigning UEFA Euro 2020 champions, or possibly Albania or Croatia, depending on Monday’s match outcomes.
Scotland, after their draw against Switzerland, still holds aspirations for the knockout rounds as they prepare to face Hungary. The format of Euro 2024 allows the top four third-placed teams from the groups to advance to the Round of 16, giving both Hungary, who are yet to secure any points, and Scotland a glimmer of hope. Scotland needs a victory, and if Switzerland loses to Germany, Scotland could potentially seize second place in the group, depending on goal difference.
