Switzerland vs Italy Prediction & Betting tips
The first match of the eight Euro 2024 will be played on Saturday from 17:00, between Switzerland and Italy, the host of this event being the Olympiastadion stadium in Berlin with a capacity of 71,000 seats. The two national teams will meet for the second time in a row at a final European tournament after the confrontation at Euro 2020, when Italy won the group match 3-0. However, it will be the first time that the two teams face each other in the elimination stages of a final tournament, regardless of whether we are talking about the Euro or the World Cup. The most recent confrontations took place in the World Cup 2022 preliminaries, where two equal results were recorded, 0-0 and 1-1, Switzerland being the team that finished first in the group, while Italy, which was forced to play a play-off from the 2nd place, she missed the qualification for the final tournament.
Switzerland:
Switzerland qualified without emotions in the round of 16 of Euro 2024, even though it did so from the 2nd place. In the three matches played in group A, Switzerland started with a 3-1 victory against Hungary in the first match, after which the draws followed with Scotland and Germany, both parties having the same score 1-1. Switzerland starts with a second chance in this confrontation, but in the previous edition it made a good figure in the round of 16, managing to eliminate the then world champion, France after a very spectacular match that ended with a score of 4-3, and in the quarters of conceded against Spain in the kicks from 11m. If they qualified further, Switzerland would play in the quarter-finals with the winner of the duel between England and Slovakia.
Italy:
On the other hand, Italy occupied the 2nd place in group B and although it qualified further, in the group the team’s performance was not convincing. In the first match, Italy beat Albania 2-1, managing to come back very quickly from the score of 1-0 for Albania, in the match with Spain which Italy lost 1-0, it was led almost the whole match, and in the match with Croatia, the last in the group, Italy scored the qualification goal, we can say in the last phase of the game. Italy is currently the holder of the trophy and a premature elimination in the round of 16 would be considered shameful. At the previous Euro 2020 final tournament, Italy qualified for the quarterfinals after needing extra time in the round of 16 with Austria, the final score being 2-1 in favor of Italy.
