Switzerland

WWDWDD 📈

Switzerland enter this game coming off the back of a 1-1 Euro 2024 drawn match versus Germany.

In that game, Switzerland managed 34% possession and 4 attempts on goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Switzerland was Dan Ndoye (28'). At the other end, Germany got 18 shots at goal with 3 on target. Niklas Füllkrug (92') was the scorer for Germany.

Switzerland have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, finding the back of the net every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 matches.

They’ve managed to rack up 11 during that period and have conceded a total of 4.

Italy

WDWWLD

In their last game, Italy drew 1-1 in the Euro 2024 match with Croatia.

In that match, Italy managed 53% possession and 13 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player to score for Italy was Mattia Zaccagni (98'). On the other side, Croatia had 6 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Luka Modrić (55') scored for Croatia.

A tendency of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games involving Italy has been fairly consistent in recent matches. Checking on their last six outings reveals that this has happened 5 times. During those clashes, their opponents have hit a goal aggregate of 2 while Italy have scored 5. It will be interesting to find out if that trend can be continued on into this next match.

👥 Head to head

The last league contest featuring these sides was WC Qualifiers - Europe match day 9 on 12/11/2021 which ended up with the score at Italy 1-1 Switzerland.

That day, Italy managed 64% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Giovanni Di Lorenzo (36').

Switzerland had 10 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Silvan Widmer (11') was the scorer.

📋 Team News: Switzerland

In all likelihood, Nati will possibly opt for a 3-4-2-1 system, utilising Yann Sommer, Fabian Schaer, Manuel Akanji, Ricardo Rodriguez, Leonidas Stergiou, Michel Aebischer, Granit Xhaka, Remo Freuler, Dan Ndoye, Ruben Vargas and Breel Embolo.

ℹ️ Team News: Italy

We’re of the thinking that Azzurri seem most likely to play in a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to Gianluigi Donnarumma, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Gianluca Mancini, Alessandro Bastoni, Matteo Darmian, Nicolo Barella, Nicolo Fagioli, Bryan Cristante, Federico Chiesa, Gianluca Scamacca and Stephan El Shaarawy.

✨ Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that Switzerland will have to work hard as a team to put one past this Italy team who we reckon should end up scoring and staying ahead.

We therefore fancy a very even match with a 0-1 victory for Italy at the end of the match.

There should be little in it.
