Julian Nagelsmann’s side have been close to perfect so far, claiming 2 victories from 2 on home soil. After their opening day hammering of Scotland, they got past Hungary with little fuss. Jamal Musiala netted on both occasions and has been one of the standout players of the tournament. He is part of a squad that has an excellent blend of youth and experience.

Given they are already through, we may well see some changes from Julian Nagelsmann. The hosts will want to avoid defeat and win their group but should face a stern test fro the Nati.

A stunning goal from Xherdan Shaqiri made sure his side came away with a point against Scotland. However, he starts on the bench today. The Swiss are in a strong position to qualify for the Round of 16, but they do need a point to guarantee their progress.

Here's how they line up:

Switzerland: Sommer; Akanji, Rodriguez, Schar; Widmer, Freuler, Xhaka, Rieder; Aebischer, Embolo; Ndoye

Germany: Neuer; Kimmich, Rudiger, Tah, Mittelstadt; Andrich, Kroos; Musiala, Gundogan, Wirtz; Havertz
