Germany will host the group stage match in the European Championship against France at the Allianz Arena in Munich on 16th June 2021 at 00:30 IST. The odds are slightly in favor of Germany to edge past the French.

Teams Status

Italy

In the first round, Italy were exceptional as they outplayed the Turkish opponent in the opening match of the European Championship. Courtesy of an own goal, Italy opened the scoring in the second half and after that, the striking duo of Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne netted a goal each to make it 3-0 for Italy. They started off this campaign pretty well and are at the top of the table with three points. In the qualifiers, Italy were unbeaten in the group as they bagged 30 points from the ten matches that they played and won all ten matches. Italy finished 12 points clear of Finland at the top of the table. They had a total of 24 shots to just three shots by Turkey. Both Immobile and Insigne have made justice for their selection to the starting XI and they would want to continue their scoring run. Roberto Manchini would like to field the same xi for the next match as well.

Switzerland

Switzerland dropped two points in a match where they could have bagged all three points against Wales. Breel Embolo opened the scoring for Switzerland in the early second half. Kieffer Moore equalized for the Wales side with a stunning header soon after that. Mario Gavranavic’s goal was disallowed which led to the sharing of points in Baku. The Swiss dominated the match with 64% possession, 18 shots and four shots on goal compared to Wales’ nine shots and just two on the target. They would want to continue their form from the qualifiers as they finished in the first position in their group. They had won five matches, drew two and lost just one match in the eight matches that they played, accumulating 17 points in the process. Breel Embolo was the star of the night for them as he is continuing his dream run from the Bundesliga.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Italy To Win @ 1.63

These two teams have played, Italy has won one match and the other three matches ended in a draw. Two of those draws came in friendly matches. Italy won the last competitive head to head match against Switzerland. Italy are unbeaten in the last ten matches that they have played across competitions, including nine wins and one draw. They are in a nine-match winning streak and they will be looking to make it ten in a row. In the last ten matches that Switzerland had played across competitions, they have won six matches, drew three and lost just one. So, it is very likely that Italy will win the match at 1.63 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2 @ 1.77

In the last four head to head matches, at least two goals were scored in two of those matches. Also, two goals were scored in the last competitive head to head matches. None of the last ten matches that Italy had played across competitions had under two goals. While Switzerland have seen under two goals in just one of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. All the last three matches that Italy played across competitions had over two goals scored in them.
