Belgium and Switzerland UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Belgium is a nation desperate to win their maiden international trophy. The Red Devils have participated in several UEFA European Championships, with their most impressive performance coming at Euro 1980. In that edition, Belgium reached the showpiece final but West Germany narrowly won the match 2-1.
A disappointing era of Belgian football was to come, with the national team participating in only one European Championship tournament between 1988 and 2012. Expectations were high when they qualified for Euro 2016. Brimming with world class talent, Belgium confidently strode towards the quarter-finals where they were outdone by Wales and Gareth Bale.
Switzerland regularly participate in major international competitions but are yet to reach a final despite numerous quarter-final appearances. Their recent history in the UEFA European Championships suggests they could spring a surprise on Belgium. Switzerland reached the knockout rounds at both Euro 2016 and Euro 2020.
Their best performance came at Euro 2020, when Switzerland produced a remarkable comeback to eliminate World Cup holders France in the last 16. Switzerland were unfortunate to lose in the quarter-finals, defeated by Spain in a dramatic penalty shoot-out.
Belgium vs Switzerland Head to Head
Belgium and Switzerland have no previous meetings at a major international tournament. In 2018, one thrilling encounter did take place between these two nations in the UEFA Nations League. Thorgan Hazard scored an early brace to put the Red Devils 2-0 up within 17 minutes. With the support of the home crowd, Switzerland fought back to win 5-2 courtesy of a Haris Seferović hat-trick.
