England, Switzerland, and Turkey and Netherlands in duels for EURO 2024 semi-finals

(Patria) - The second two quarter-final matches of the European Football Championship, being played in Germany, are scheduled for today. England and Switzerland will face each other first, and this evening the Netherlands and Turkey will meet. You can follow the matches live on BHRT channels.

In Dusseldorf, England and Switzerland will face each other, two teams that believe they have what it takes to enter the top four teams in Europe. Southgate's team is the favourite, but an extremely difficult match awaits them.

England has positive experiences in duels with Switzerland in the last ten years. They have won five times and conceded only one goal.

However, the English appear vulnerable at this Euro. This was shown in the group matches against Denmark and Slovenia, in which they did not dominate. In the round of 16 against Slovakia, England was a minute and a half away from elimination, so Saturday's match will actually show how much this renowned squad is worth.

As for the Swiss, they are definitely the most pleasant surprise of the tournament. They opened the competition excellently with a victory against Hungary, and only in stoppage time did they fail to win against Germany. They corrected this in the round of 16 against Italy, when they completely dominated. They definitely have the power to play equally against anyone at the European Championship.

The last quarter-final match will be played in Berlin, between the Netherlands and Turkey. This is a clash of two teams, neither of which has played in the semi-finals of a major tournament for a decade. Koeman's team is the favourite, but the Turks are definitely not harmless in this tournament.

The Netherlands scored six goals against Turkey in their last mutual encounter in 2021. However, the Turks also had two high victories before that, which shows them that they can play against the Netherlands.

The Dutch have had ups and downs at this Euro. They stood well against France, in a match where victory slipped away due to a dubiously disallowed goal. They lost to Austria, but had no problems with Romania in the round of 16.

Turkey started the tournament well with a victory against Georgia, only to be completely outclassed by Portugal. However, a triumph against the Czech Republic took Montella's team further, and then they played their best match against Austria.
