Euro 2024, Italy vs Switzerland: Match Prediction, Head-To-Head Record

Switzerland will take on the defending champions Italy on Saturday in the round of 16 of UEFA Euro 2024 at Berlin’s Olympiastadion.

Switzerland have remained unbeaten in the group stages. Out of three group stage matches they played, Switzerland has won 1 match, which was against Hungary where the final score was 3-1. Two of their matches, against Germany and Scotland, ended in 1-1 draw.

The defending champions Italy’s campaign started with a 2-1 win against Albania but they lost to Spain 1-0 in their second group stage match. In their final group stage match, Italy faced Croatia, where a draw was enough for them to qualify for the round of 16. Croatia were a goal ahead and it was thought that they would make it to knockouts but Italy were able to draw the match with a goal in the injury time.

Both the teams have faced each other in Euro 2020, where Italy emerged victorious but Switzerland in this tournament are unbeaten and they also showed good performance against the 2014 World Cup Champions Germany in the group stages, who were dominant against Scotland and Albania.

Knockout stages are different, sometimes the major teams fall and small teams progress to the next stage. In the round of 16, Italy may have edge over Switzerland, and they may progress to the quarterfinals. It won’t be surprising if the game goes to the penalty shootout, which Italy may win.

Head-to-head

Italy and Switzerland have faced each other 60 times, where Italy won 29 matches and lost 7 to Switzerland. 24 matches between both the teams ended in draw.

Both the nations locked horns in 2020 edition of European Championship and Italy secured a 3-0 win over Switzerland.
