Since Danny Murphy is co-commentating on this game for TV, I spoke with him about it. Danny has a strong preference for Switzerland, but I never really agree with Danny, so I’m going to go with Italy.
In their final Group B game against Croatia, the holders managed to secure the outcome they required.
To be honest, they had the better chances and didn’t deserve to lose even though they only managed to equalize in the 98th minute.
Even though it will be quite close, I have a feeling Italy will prevail in this match by doing the same.
I am excited to watch what Germany does next, as I am covering this game with Vicki Sparks.
They played well against Hungary and Scotland to start the campaign like a train. However, they struggled more against Switzerland. Nevertheless, they rallied valiantly to get a draw, and I really like Niclas Fullkrug, who entered to score their goal.
Julian Nagelsmann, the manager of Germany, selected the same starting lineup for all three of those group matches, but he will need to make at least one change in this one because Jonathan Tah.
