Switzerland – Italy Prediction

Italy are the favourites of this game. Not that they really deserve it. The way they play is of a controversial quality. Switzerland have recently proved they can struggle against Italy. In the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying games they tied both head-to-head meetings (0:0 and 1:1).

Italy performed well only against Albania, who was considered one of the weakest sides in this tournament. They were defeated by Spain without having a chance to fix it. And Italy hardly managed to level the score against Croatia.

Switzerland were unbeaten in the group stage. They were a problem even for Germany, one of the favourites of this Euro. Switzerland haven’t lost in regular time their last 6 European Championship games (2 wins, 4 draws). They have lost only one official game in the last year and a half. The sides are in different conditions.

Our prediction is Switzerland to win or Draw at 1,55.
