Switzerland battles England Saturday in a quarterfinal match of Euro 2024 from Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf, Germany. Kickoff is set for noon ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Englandvs. Switzerland odds, and make our best Euro 2024 bets, picks and predictions.
England sits 4th in the FIFA World Rankings and has a world-class team. Despite individual talent, it did not dominate in group stage pay. It only beat Serbia 1-0 in its opening match, ending with just 3 shots on frame, then drew Denmark 1-1 and drew Slovenia 0-0. In the Round of 16, England beat Slovakia 2-1 in extra time, yet was minutes away from an early exit as M Jude Bellingham drew the game even at 1 in the 95th minute. England ended with just 2 shots on frame.
Switzerland, No. 19 in FIFA’s rankings, was impressive in its Round of 16 victory, but it didn’t end out the group stage well. It beat Italy 2-0 on Saturday to advance to the quarterfinals while allowing just 1 shot on frame, but it drew both Germany and Scotland 1-1 in its final 2 group stage matches. It started its Euro play with a 3-1 win over Hungary. Switzerland has been led by Bayer Leverkusen M Granit Xhaka.

England has the talent, and it should be getting more familiar with each other. It was expected to struggle to start the knockout round, but it should eventually find the rhythm given the high-level players it has taking the pitch. That should aid a breakthrough of a stout Switzerland backline. England beat Italy twice in the Euro qualifies as well.
While Switzerland has impressed, against top talent like Germany, it had just 4 shots while allowing 18. It also ended with fewer shots against Scotland. If England gets more chances, expect it to capitalize. At these odds, TAKE ENGLAND (+115).
These high-profile games don’t often produce many goals, and the Swiss side plays a technically sound, methodical type of game. Switzerland has scored 5 goals through 4 games yet has just 11 shots on frame over its last 3.
It will be facing an England backline that has 2 clean sheets in its last 4 matches and has scored just 3 regular-time goals in its last 4 matches. England has gone Under even this total in 3 of its last 5 games. With a strong and consistent backline on both sides, take UNDER 1.5 (+166).
