Switzerland vs Germany: Pre-Match Facts
- This will be Switzerland and Germany’s first encounter at a major tournament since the 1966 FIFA World Cup; West Germany beat Switzerland 5-0 in the group stages. They also met in the 1938 (Switzerland won 4-2 in a round of 16 replay) and 1962 FIFA World Cup (West Germany won 2-1 in the group stages).
- Switzerland are unbeaten in their last three matches against Germany (W1 D2), with those three matches producing 16 goals, an average of 5.3 per game. The Swiss had lost 16 of their previous 18 matches against the Germans (D2).
- Germany have scored in 52 of their 53 matches against Switzerland in all competitions. The only exception was a goalless draw in an April 1968 friendly.
- Switzerland haven’t lost their final group stage game in any of their last eight appearances at a major international tournament (W5 D3), last doing so in Euro 2004 (1-3 vs France).
- Germany are aiming to become the third host nation to win all three of their group stage games at a single UEFA European Championship after the Netherlands in 2000 and France in 1984; meanwhile they would be the first host team to do so at a major international tournament since the Germans themselves at the 2006 World Cup (Excluding Euro 2020 – 11 host nations).
- Switzerland have lost just one of their last 12 games at the UEFA European Championship – a 3-0 loss to Italy at Euro 2020 – but since Euro 2016 the Swiss have drawn more games in the competition than any other side (W4 D7).
- Germany have won each of their last three games at major international tournaments (World Cup/Euros) by 2+ goals (4-2 v Costa Rica, 5-1 v Scotland, 2-0 v Hungary) with the Netherlands at the 1974 World Cup the last nation to record four such victories in a row.
- Only Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo (10 prior to MD2) has scored in more major international tournaments than Switzerland forward Xherdan Shaqiri, who has now netted at each of the last six such tournaments since and including the 2014 World Cup (Euro 2016, 2018 World Cup, Euro 2020, 2022 World Cup, Euro 2024).
- Germany’s Jamal Musiala is aiming to become the first Germany player to score in each of his nation’s opening three games at a major tournament (World Cup/Euros) since Miroslav Klose at the 2002 World Cup and the first ever to do so at the UEFA European Championship. Aged 21 years and 118d on the day of this game he would be the second youngest player ever to do so for any nation behind only Peru’s Téofilo Cubillas (21y 94d) at the 1970 World Cup.
- Germany midfielder Toni Kroos has recorded 100+ passes in eight of his last 12 appearances in the UEFA European Championship since Euro 2016; on record at the tournament (since 1980) his eight total games of a century of passes is double that of any other player. Meanwhile against Hungary on MD2, the midfielder recorded 43 line-breaking passes, at least 26 more than any other player in the game.
