Despite being the underdogs, Switzerland have played really well recently and also have upset the current World Champions in the recently concluded European Championship.

They were unbeaten in the group stages winning all their matches in the group consisting of Turkey, Wales and Switzerland. Then they went on to beat Austria, Belgium, Spain and England to win the title. They have continued the same momentum into the World Cup qualifiers as well, as they have won the first three matches that they have played against Northern Ireland, Bulgaria and Lithuania. With all three results being 2-0. The Lazio forward Ciro Immobile is the leading goal scorer with two goals under his belt. Italy would want to carry the same momentum into the World Cup as well.

Tipster’s Angle

Italy have played well against their Swiss opponents as they have won two and drawn three in the last five head to head matches. Italy focuses more on defense, so this could be a low-scoring encounter.

Tip: Italy To Win @ 2.06

Apart from that Italy are unbeaten in the last five head to head matches against Switzerland.

And Italy managed to keep a clean sheet in four of those five matches. Also, Italy have kept a clean sheet in six of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions.
