PREDICTION
Gareth Southgate is under intense scrutiny from the English press and England supporters with the Three Lions squeezing through to the last eight and reliant on sheer individual quality to get there with Jude Bellingham’s memorable overhead kick equaliser against Slovakia in the Round of 16. England may well switch their system but the widely shared view is that if their performances remain at the same level then the Swiss will reach their first ever major tournament semi-final. Murat Yakin’s side came into the tournament under a bit a cloud after finishing below Romania in qualification and some public squabbles between manager Yakin and captain Granit Xhaka. However, they will be an mood right now after comfortably defeating defending champions Italy by two goals to nil in the previous round and a double chance bet in favour of the Swiss would appear a good value bet for this one.
