Italy faces Switzerland in round 2 of the Euro group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 16th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome)
The Italians beat the Turkish national team very convincingly (3-0), extending their streak of clean sheets to nine matches. For the first time in modern history (to be more precise, in 31 years), they manage not to concede for such a long time. This result is both a logical consequence of the painstaking work of Mancini's coaching staff and an anomaly at the same time. Still, the team is not afraid to use extremely high pressure, boldly start tackling on the foreign side of the field, and leave space behind the back of the last defender. Defensive failures in such a game are inevitable, and it is surprising that the opponents have not yet taken advantage of this.

The ball will eventually fly in Donnarumma's net. Quite possibly, it will be done by the Swiss footballers, who created a lot of dangerous scoring chances in the opening match against Wales (2.6 xG). The conversion let Switzerland down, but the main thing was that the game was going well. The Red Crosses greatly possessed the ball and delivered good shots. In the course of the match, Petkovic's charges repeatedly rebuilt and changed tactics, which indicates their variability and ability to play in different ways. They are good at positional attacks, counterattacks, and set pieces (Wales conceded after a corner kick), thanks to which they scored in 16 of their 17 previous matches.
The Swiss conceded even from the Wales national team (1-1), although they were ahead and could easily kill the clock. This time they will have to hold back the onslaught of a much more effective team, which is ready to play intensively from the start to the final whistle. The Italians made good substitutions. For example, the Friday game was refreshed by masters like Chiesa, Belotti, and Bernardeschi. Even if very primitive long balls towards Moore caused trouble for the defenders of the Swiss national team, then the cunning movements of Insigne, Berardi and Immobile will definitely turn their heads. The Italians are favorites and will probably justify it with a pair of goals scored. In any case, I recommend betting on spectacular football.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
