Italy vs Switzerland Predictions

by JohnnyBet from

Italy have the advantage of playing all of their 2020 European Championship games at home, which obviously has its impact on our Italy vs Switzerland predictions. Each of the three Group A Italy fixtures will be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and there is sure to be a strong Italian presence in the crowd for every match. They already took the advantage of playing on their soil in a 3-0 win against Turkey.

Italy's second game in the group is against Switzerland. The match will be played on the 16th of June following the other match in Group A between Turkey and Wales which ended up with a 1-1 draw. Italy came into the tournament as one of the favourites to reach the latter stages of the competition and they cannot afford to drop points in this game if they are to win the group. The odds for this match have Italy at 1.60 to win.

However, Switzerland also have desires to at least reach the knockout stages of the 2020 European Championship. They progressed from their 2018 World Cup group in Russia and will want to do the same in this competition. Italy share a significant border with Switzerland so this should be a fantastic occasion for both the players and fans but which team will come out on top? Continue below to find out more in our Italy vs Switzerland betting tips and for the latest Switzerland vs Italy betting odds .

1. Italy vs Switzerland Favourites

Italy are the clear favourites to win Group A and after beating Turkey 3-0 in the first round of games, a win in this match could see them close to securing first place. The Italians enjoyed a tremendous qualifying campaign during which they won all 10 of their games. They finished 12 points clear of second-place Finland which highlights their superiority throughout qualifying and only Belgium can match their 100% record.

We had a good game, it was important to start well here in Rome, and I think it is a satisfaction for everyone with us, for the public and all Italians. We played a good game, even in the first half without being able to score. It wasn't easy, we were at our first game and they are a great team. There was a lot of help from the crowd, the team played really well. - Roberto Mancini after beating Turkey, Daily Mail

However, Switzerland are arguably tougher than any of the teams with which Italy were drawn in their qualifying group. Nonetheless, Italy do have the home advantage and they are very strong when playing in their own country. They are undefeated in their last 28 home matches and have a good recent record against the Swiss.

Everything seems to be pointing in the direction of an Italy win in this game. The Italy vs Switzerland odds have the hosts as the favourites. Read on for more Switzerland vs Italy betting predictions as we take a look at the Swiss. Also, remember about the second match in this group and don't forget to follow the best odds, tips, and predictions for the Turkey vs Wales game available in the related article.

2. Switzerland vs Italy Outsiders

Switzerland were drawn in European Championship qualifying Group D along with Denmark, Republic of Ireland, Georgia and Gibraltar. This was a tough group but Switzerland managed to finish top, winning 5 of their 8 matches and losing only one. They finished one point clear of second-place Denmark to book their place in the tournament.

Switzerland have qualified for each of the four previous European Championship finals but only once have they managed to make it out of the group stage. They reached the round of 16 at the 2016 European Championship and will be hoping to do the same in this competition but they may have to pick up points from their other two games in the group.

The Swiss have failed to defeat Italy in their last 8 attempts and have recorded just one victory in their last 14 meetings which came back in 1993 at home during a World Cup qualifying campaign. Only once in their history have Switzerland defeated Italy away from home and that was in a friendly match in 1982. Therefore, it comes as no surprise to see the betting odds for Italy vs Switzerland having the Swiss as the outsiders to win this match, especially after their 1-1 draw against Wales in the first round of games.

3. Switzerland vs Italy Other Bets

Next in our Italy vs Switzerland predictions we take a look at the possibility of a draw. Interestingly, each of the last three meetings between the teams have ended in a draw. All three matches were friendlies played in Switzerland, with the most recent being in June 2010. So, it is difficult to take anything significant from these results but the Swiss will use them as motivation to show they can compete with the Italians. They also don't have much choice after they dropped two points against Wales.

Switzerland boasted one of the best defensive records of the group winners during qualifying, conceding 6 goals in the 8 games. However, Italy surpassed that with the concession of only 4 goals in their 10 qualifying matches. With the Swiss most likely to set up with defence in mind for this match, we could see a low scoring game even if Italy go onto win. We don't predict another 3-0 win for Italy like it was against Turkey. The same goes for the last match in this group and you can already look for the best ante-post odds and predictions before the Italy vs Wales match available in the related article.
