Switzerland vs Germany prediction

One of the most exciting attacking teams that we’ve seen so far in this tournament, Germany looks well-placed to potentially go on and win Group B, although the likes of Czechia and USA will likely challenge them all the way. When taking this into account, Germany cannot afford any kind of complacency here as they bid to cement their spot at the top of the table.

Switzerland sits in third-place at the time of writing and their only defeat so far came via overtime at the hands of Czechia. Since then, it’s consecutive wins for the Swiss but those have come against lesser teams on paper. Now taking on another Group B juggernaut in Germany, it would be no surprise to see them found wanting again, so backing the Germans is to be seriously considered.

Switzerland vs Germany tip: Germany to win
