The Monaco striker is one of the first names on the Switzerland national football team sheet. The 27-year-old striker made an emotional return to the national side with an exquisite chip over Hungary to seal a 3-1 victory in their first game of the Euro 2024 campaign. Embolo returned from an 18-month hiatus and has not played for the national side since the 2022 World Cup.

Jamal Musiala

The Bayern Munich attacker secured a goal in each of his last games with Germany in Euro 2024. Musiala has put in a solid performance as he continues to dazzle for Die Mannschaft in the Euros. In his first game against Scotland, Musiala terrorised the defense with his sublime skills and almost broke the net to secure his second on the night. Many consider the youngster as an early contender for the Euro 2024 Player of the Tournament.

Switzerland vs Germany Prediction

Switzerland national football team opened their Euro 2024 campaign with a 3-1 win over Hungary before they sustained a 1-1 draw with Scotland in their last game. They are expected to finish second in the group standings and qualify for the knockout stages. They are in sensational form having sustained only one defeat in their 16 matches across all competitions.

Germany national football team, meanwhile, secured a 5-1 and 2-0 win over Scotland and Hungary respectively in their opening games of the Euro 2024 campaign. They are currently at the top of the group standings and have already secured their position in the knockout rounds. They look like the better team on paper and should manage to secure the three points.

Predicted Score: Switzerland 0-2 Germany
