Switzerland haven’t lost their final group stage game in any of their last eight appearances at a major international tournament (W5 D3), last doing so in EURO 2004 (1-3 vs France).

Germany are aiming to become the third host nation to win all three of their group stage games at a single UEFA European Championship after the Netherlands in 2000 and France in 1984; meanwhile they would be the first host team to do so at a major international tournament since the Germans themselves at the 2006 World Cup (Excluding EURO 2020 - 11 host nations).
