Switzerland vs Italy preview

In-form Switzerland will be hoping to keep their impressive run going when current Euros holders Italy meet them in the first last-16 tie of this competition.

The Swiss were unbeaten in their group and only an injury time Niclas Fullkrug goal in the final round of matches prevented them from beating Germany and winning Group A.

An opening day victory over Hungary was followed by a 1-1 draw with Scotland, in a contest that could’ve gone either way.

But their unbeaten start to this competition means it’s now just one defeat in 17 games for Switzerland across all competitions.

The Italians left it late – in fact, it was as late as they possibly could – to secure second spot in their group to be here for this one.

Mattia Zaccagni’s wondergoal in minute 98 of the final game with Croatia cancelled out Luka Modric’s goal to send Italy through and Croatia home.

The defending champions haven’t really got going yet and you wonder if the reports of a mole in the camp is harming their bid to become the first country ever to successfully defend the Euros.

Does the emotion of that late goal over Croatia, coupled with the fact they played 24 hours after their last-16 opponents, further test this Italian squad?

Switzerland vs Italy betting tips

Result

Defending champions Italy come into the game as marginal favourites – with the bookmakers anyway.

But anyone that’s watched them will know they haven’t quite hit the heights of three years ago so far and this represents a huge opportunity for the Swiss.

They were unlucky not to beat the hosts in the final group game and have been beaten once in just 17 games.

Card issue

Only three teams in the competition have been shown more yellow cards than the eight of Switzerland in the three games so far.

That’s one more than Italy, accumulating seven themselves in their three games.

The stakes go up a notch and with a mega battle in the middle of the park, this one has cards written all over it.

Dan the man

Dan Ndoye has been a top player for Switzerland in the group stage.

The 23-year-old Bologna forward scored the opener against Germany last time out and is a chief goal threat for the Swiss.

Good value.
