Tipster’s Angle

Similar to the previous head-to-head, this is also expected to be a low-scoring thriller and also either team could keep a clean sheet. With Italy playing at home, they are very likely to win the match quite comfortably.

Tip: Total Goals Under 2.5 @ 1.66

Under 2.5 goals were scored in five of the last six head-to-head encounters, for a total of seven goals scored at an average of 1.16 goals per match. In five of Italy’s last 10 matches in all competitions, under 2.5 goals were scored. Switzerland, on the other hand, has scored less than 2.5 goals in five of their last 10 matches across all competitions. In addition, Italy has scored under 2.5 goals in three of its last six home matches. Under 2.5 goals were scored in the reverse fixture of this contest. As a result, the Betway sportsbook’s 1.66 odds suggest that under 2.5 goals will be scored.

Tip: Both Teams To Score – No @ 1.65

In the last six head-to-head matches, both teams scored in just one match. And clean sheets were kept in five matches, while both teams kept a clean sheet in three of those five matches. Apart from that, Italy has kept clean sheets in five of the last six head-to-head matches. In the last four matches that Italy has played across competitions, they have kept a clean sheet in two of those matches. Switzerland on the other hand has seen both teams not scoring in five of the last nine matches that they have played across competitions. Also, the reverse fixture of this tie had both teams not scoring in them. So, it is very likely that either team will keep a clean sheet at 1.65 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

A win for either side will put them into the driving seat going into the last game week, with a three-point advantage over the other team and almost a direct qualification confirmed. With a direct qualification at stake, both teams will come with all guns blazing with an intent to win.
