One of its surprises Euro 2024 in Germanythe Swiss team led by coach Murat Yakinwill be measured against Italy of Luciano Spalletti in the first match of the round of 16 of the continental national team tournament. Here will come, therefore, the first quarter-finalist of Eurowho will wait for a rival England-Slovakia (06/30-18h.).
The Helvetians, second to Group A with 5 points (one win and two draws), ahead of Hungary and Scotland and behind the host, with 7, they have struck a chord and will now have the difficult task of eliminating ‘Azzurra’. Although it is unlikely that it will be more difficult, as they have already done it in their time when they sent the Italians to the play-offs of Qatar World Cupwhere they finally did not qualify.
The Italian team, for its part, came to the match also classified as second in Group B -that of Spain-, although with 4 points (one victory, one defeat and one draw), ahead of Croatia and Albania -both eliminated- and behind a difficult Spanish team so far, with 9 out of 9 possible points.
definitely, Switzerland will arrive at the knockout phase in a state of courtesy, with a plugged forward promising to give war to an ‘Azzurra’ that presents itself with some doubts after passing the round of 16 without ending up shining, with the sure defeat of Calafiori and Dimarcoalthough there is a Gianluigi Donnarumma star
