Switzerland vs Italy prediction

Switzerland and Italy are set to open the knockout rounds this Saturday with one thing in common they have which is their very tight defense line that can cause an upset to any player seeking a quick goal.

Switzerland made a very good impression before advancing to the knockout round by displaying their defense solidity, allowing only a goal per match while remaining undefeated in all three rounds. Their ability to sustain high pressure makes them a tough opponent in the knockout round. Switzerland is expected to extend its teamwork spirit in this round to maintain its fortress form which granted them the 2 recent back-to-back ties with the Italians.

Italy is coming from a very tough game against Croatia which was almost directing them toward the exit door of the Euro 2024 tournament thanks to a last-minute equalizer goal from Zaccagni. They are more ambitious than their opponent Swiss in this stage as they are set to defend the title. The last time they were up against Switzerland they had an easy day in office as they collected an easy and clean win.

Both defense of these teams looks tight so we expect their boxes to completely be locked hence we advise you to wager on a Draw in your Switzerland vs Italy prediction.
