Switzerland vs Italy prediction and betting tips - June 29, 2024
In the round of 16 of the European Championship, a match between Switzerland and Italy will take place. The match will be held in Berlin on Saturday, June 29th. The game is scheduled to start at 18:00 Central European Time. The prediction for this match is provided by Dailysports experts.
Switzerland
The Swiss team performed well in the group stage and deservedly took second place in Group A. After a convincing victory over Hungary in the first game, Murat Yakin's team played two draws. The match against Scotland was fiercely contested, and the result was fair.
However, in the game against Germany, Switzerland can blame their bad luck. They were very close to winning, but Germany equalized just a few minutes before the final whistle.
Italy
The Italians are continuing their defense of the European Championship title but have not impressed with their performance in the group stage. After conceding an early goal from Albania, Italy scored twice to secure their only victory of the tournament so far.
Against Spain, they had very little chance, although they lost by only one goal. They managed to salvage a draw against Croatia in injury time thanks to a goal from Zaccagni.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head
- Switzerland has both scored and conceded in their last four matches.
- In all their matches in this Euro, Italy conceded the first goal.
- Switzerland has not defeated Italy since 1993.
Switzerland vs Italy Prediction
Both teams have personnel issues due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Switzerland will be without Widmer, while Italy will miss their main center-back Calafiori. The nominal guests are considered the favorites, and the match is unlikely to be high-scoring. My bet is on a total of under 2.5 goals.
