England vs Switzerland: Betting Tips Outlined
Ben's Banker
We’ve got some really solid picks in this game, and I really like the look of all of them, but I think the value provided by the corners is my favourite. It’s served us well so far, and this game will, hopefully, be another instance of this.
Under 8.5 Corners - 11/8 BoyleSports
Under 8.5 Corners - 11/8 BoyleSports
In this tournament, England have averaged around six corners per game, only having one game with nine or more corners. Whilst Switzerland have a higher average - 10.5 corners per game - I still really like this line, it has served us well so far this tournament, and we’re going for it again.

Under 1.5 Goals - 13/8 at Bet365
So far, the Quarter-Finals have been quite underwhelming, and you could, perhaps, argue that this extends to the Round of 16 as well.
With five goals conceded in four goals between the two sides, I really like this pick. It’s two great defensive units going against each other, and with the stake in mind, this game shouldn’t have too many goals.

Under 3.5 cards - 13/8 at QuinnBet
Between the two sides, there is an average of around 1.75 cards received per game, and whilst the referee, Daniele Orsato, has given four cards per game at the tournament so far, I don’t think either side will be drawn into silly fouls regularly making 13/8 some nice value.

Phil Foden to Score or Assist - 19/10 BetMGM
It has not been done solely with Phil Foden in mind, but Gareth Southgate changing his formation will massively benefit the Manchester City star.
He has been underwhelming so far this tournament, maybe you can argue this is due to the lack of freedom in his position, something which playing centrally allows, especially if he plays on the right side of the double 10s.

Bukayo Saka to make 2+ Fouls - 7/4 Bet365
According to reports ahead of the game, Bukayo Saka looks set to start for England at wing-back where Southgate played him during the latter stages of the Slovakia match.
With an average of around one foul per game across the club season and the Euros so far, and playing against Dan Ndoye - who draws nearly three fouls per game - I think that him getting two fouls is very likely.
England vs Switzerland Preview
England - Team News and Key Players
As an Englishman, and a football lover in general, this has been one of the most difficult tournaments to endure in recent memory.
I didn’t watch the former ‘Golden Era’ but the similarities between the former and current teams are so, worryingly, clear.
England have forced their best players into one team, comprising their profiles and favoured positions just to get them in the team. Perhaps, this has been done to avoid criticism by the fans, and the media, but it has not worked.
The Three Lions have been poor to watch, maybe due to the system, maybe just the pressure is too much. We’ll never know, but they have seemed a team that are on a leash, and the Slovakia game was a perfect representation of this.
Gareth Southgate’s side were timid and lacked quality, and then Jude Bellingham scored the winner - in my eyes, England were never losing that game after a moment like that - and now there is change in store.
Southgate is set to change his team’s system, something which he has refrained from, even if it has seemingly been staring him in the face.
It seems the team may, finally, be about to be unleashed. England are one of the favourites, and they have not played like they are. Now, they have a chance to prove they deserve to be, with the new found freedom in the team.
If you are looking to bet on England’s progression, for the first time of this tournament, you will be offered odds of above evens for a ‘home’ victory - 6/5 seems to be the price which most of the best UK football bookmakers are offering.
Switzerland - Team News and Key Players
I, for one, am loving the Switzerland run this tournament, albeit for unbiased reasoning I hope it ends this game, though.
Before the tournament, I predicted that the Swiss would advance quite far in the tournament, and they have done just that so far, and they do not look like they are ready to go home just yet.
As a unit, there are very few teams better defensively than Switzerland. Manuel Akanji, Fabian Schar and Ricardo Rodriguez have been fantastic at the back, and Yann Sommer has proven his quality in every game.
It doesn’t just stop there, though. In the midfield, I can think of a duo who work as well as Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler, especially not at this tournament.
Against Italy, the Swiss dominated the midfield, and the game in general, and a lot of this is due to the work done by the pair.
Not afraid to do the dirty work, but two players who power this side, and do so perfectly.
They have already beaten the Italians and drawn against a Germany side, who until last night, had been one of the most convincing teams of the tournament. Who’s to say they can’t or more importantly, won’t beat England.
If you think they will beat the Three Lions, you can find odds of around 3/1 with most bookies, which seems a decent price in itself.
