Italy Betting Facts

For its comeback in a major international competition, Italy has perfectly met expectations. Indeed, Squadra Azzurra started this Euro in the best possible way by outclassing, at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, a weak Turkey (3-0). Ciro Immobile's teammates quickly took control of the match but they only made the difference during the second half despite a 1st half that they largely dominated. In March, the Transalpines launched their qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup perfectly by lining up 3 successes against Northern Ireland (2-0), Bulgaria (0-2), and Lithuania (0 -2).

Initially summoned to the group of 26, midfielders Pellegrini (Roma) and Sensi (Inter) were finally forced to miss the Euro. They were replaced by Pessina (Atalanta) and Castrovilli (Fiorentina), who did not play against Turkey. Unavailable during the 1st day, the Parisian Marco Verratti is close to a comeback but this 2nd day certainly arrives too quickly for him. Thus, midfield Barella - Jorginho - Locatelli which was successful against Turkey could be repeated. In front, the winger Sassuolo Berardi was restless while Insigne and Immobile launched their Euro perfectly by finding the net. The defender Florenzi was replaced at half-time after calf pain, and he won’t be able to hold his place for this match. The Bonucci - Chiellini hinge and the Romain Spinazzola, very active in his left lane, were very good.

Switzerland Betting Facts

Considered as the 2nd best team in group A, behind Italy, Switzerland hopes to come out, as it did during the last 3 major international competitions in which it took part. Last Saturday, for its entry, Nati dominated but still conceded the division of points against Wales. It was even close to winning but its 2nd goal scored by Gavranovic in the 85th minute was called off for an offside position. Last March, midfielder Granit Xhaka started their qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup with 2 wins in Bulgaria (1-3) and against Lithuania (1-0) before winning a friendly against Finland (3-2). In early June, in preparation for this Euro, they won against the United States (2-1) and Liechtenstein (7-0).

As in the first match, Switzerland should present itself in a 3-4-1-2 system. The defensive sector brings serious guarantees with the goalkeeper of Gladbach, Sommer, his club teammate Elvedi, the excellent Akanji and the captain of the defense Schär. In front, Breel Embolo was very restless and logically rewarded by scoring his 6th goal in the selection. The Gladbach striker displayed his current excellent disposition on Matchday 1. So far, Switzerland’s 3rd goalkeeper Omlin (Montpellier) was injured in the warm-up on Saturday. He is replaced by Borussia Dortmund rookie Gregor Kobel.
