England vs Switzerland
INSIGHTS
Pre Match
1
This will be the fourth meeting between England and Switzerland at a major tournament, and third at the UEFA European Championship. England won 2-0 in the 1954 World Cup, 3-0 at EURO 2004, and had a 1-1 draw at EURO 1996.
2
England have lost just one of their last 24 meetings with Switzerland in all competitions (W17 D6), and are unbeaten in 13 (W9 D4) since a 2-1 loss in a World Cup qualifier in May 1981.
3
England have now reached the quarter-final in all four of their major tournaments under Gareth Southgate, the first time they’ve ever reached the last eight at four consecutive EUROs/World Cups. They’ve progressed from two of their four EURO quarter-final matches, with three of the four such games being decided on penalties.
4
Switzerland have reached only their fifth ever major tournament (World Cup/EUROs) quarter-final, and second at the UEFA European Championship, after EURO 2020. They have been eliminated at this stage in all four of their previous attempts; this is the most any European nation has featured in quarter-finals of major tournaments without ever participating in a semi-final.
5
Having lost six of their first eight matches (D2) at the UEFA European Championship, Switzerland have lost just one of their last 14 in the competition (W5 D8). Two of those eight draws, however, have resulted in penalty shootout defeats.
