What do you need to know?

Germany became the first team to book their place in the last 16 by following up their opening-day win against Scotland with victory over Hungary. Julian Nagelsmann's side, inspired by the brilliance of Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala and Toni Kroos, have played some scintillating football in their two games so far but are unlikely to take their foot off the gas in Frankfurt, as they look to end a EURO group stage with maximum points for the first time since 2012.

Switzerland are well-positioned to reach the EURO knockout stage for the third tournament in succession after beating Hungary and drawing with Scotland. Few teams would relish facing the tournament hosts on current form, but the Nati are unbeaten in their last three meetings with their central European neighbours, scoring nine goals in that run. They have also lost only one of their last 12 EURO matches, winning four and drawing seven. If they avoid defeat in Frankfurt, a last-16 spot will be theirs.

Possible line-ups

Switzerland: Sommer; Schär, Akanji, Rodríguez; Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Aebischer; Ndoye, Embolo, Vargas
Misses next match if booked: Freuler, Rodriguez, Sierro, Widmer

Germany: Neuer; Kimmich, Rüdiger, Tah, Mittelstädt; Andrich, Kroos; Musiala, Gündoğan, Wirtz; Havertz

Expert predictions

Anna-Sophia Vollmerhausen, Switzerland reporter

Smart tactical decisions have been key to Switzerland collecting four points from their first two games, although they haven't always looked as dominant as they would like. Coach Murat Yakin is now tasked with finding the right approach against the in-form hosts. They might have one foot in the next round already, but expect Switzerland to do everything they can to come out on top in Frankfurt.

Phil Röber, Germany reporter

At Germany's press conference two days before the match, it took over 20 minutes before the first question was asked about Switzerland. Perhaps that is due to the the familiarity between the teams, as many players know each other well from the German Bundesliga. Will there be any surprises? Certainly, but probably not in terms of Germany's line-up, with Nagelsmann declaring he's not a fan of breaking up his team's rhythm.

What the coaches say

Murat Yakin, Switzerland coach: "We got positive results in the first two games, and here we are now, in a good situation. We don't have to win tomorrow. We want to show our qualities and give Germany a tough time. First and foremost, we want to produce a good performance. It's a prestigious game and we want to do well."

Julian Nagelsmann, Germany coach: "At the moment, there are no plans to change the team. Switzerland are probably the best opponent we have in this group in terms of individual quality. This is about winning the game, gaining more confidence and it doesn't matter who the next opponent is [in the knockout stages]."
