The quarterfinal action at the EUROs on Saturday gets underway in Dusseldorf, as a stuttering England look to hit their stride when they come up against Switzerland. A showdown against either Turkey or the Netherlands awaits the winners. You can find our best card bets for the quarterfinal showdown here.
What We Know So Far
England and Switzerland will collide at a major international tournament for the fourth time on Saturday, with the Three Lions looking to replicate their wins from the 1954 World Cup and 2004 EUROs. The Three Lions have lost just once in their last 24 meetings with the Swiss, with Switzerland’s only win in 14 coming in May 1981.
Gareth Southgate will be searching for a better display from his side on Saturday, but credit must be given to the England coach, as the nation will be playing in their fourth straight quarterfinal under his stewardship.
Switzerland have rarely reached this stage of the competition throughout their history, as they will be playing in the last eight for just the fifth time in a major tournament. But, they have suffered eliminated at this stage in each of their last four appearances.
However, the Swiss bring excellent recent EURO form into this showdown after losing just once in their last 14 matches. But, two of the eight draws that they have recorded have seen them eliminated following a penalty shootout.
England vs Switzerland Offshore Odds
England’s recent performances at the EUROs mean that the Swiss come into this quarterfinal showdown with at least a fighting chance of progressing through to a first ever semi-final. However, the Three Lions remain popular at the top of the market.
Best Card Bets
A fascinating battle in the middle of the park looks set to determine the nation that progresses through to the quarterfinal stage when England and Switzerland collide on Saturday. Therefore, we could see over 2.5 cards being dished out by the referee. Below, you can find our best card bets for the players to be booked.
Granit Xhaka +187
Granit Xhaka has been one of the standout midfielders in Europe this season, and he is the key man in the middle of the park for this Swiss side. He will likely be aggressive against an England side looking to keep possession of the ball, and he could be a solid selection in a number of prop markets, including to be booked and to have a shot on target.
Jude Bellingham +600
Jude Bellingham has been the key man for England to this point, but he is also not scared to roll up his sleeves and get involved in battles across the field. The Real Madrid star was booked in England’s previous match, and he will likely find himself flying into tackles once again this weekend in order to get the Three Lions back on the offensive.
