United Kingdom Rugby Jersey<\/a><\/head><\/p>\nItaly will be looking to tie up their place in the Euro 2020 knockout stages when they welcome Switzerland to the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The Azzurri are top of Group A after easing past Turkey 3-0 in their opener, a ninth consecutive victory in all competitions.<\/p>\n
Italy vs Switzerland Latest Odds<\/p>\n
Having now gone 28 matches without defeat, Italy are 4\/7 (1.57) favourites with bet365 to move into the last-16 by coming out on top once again.<\/p>\n
Vladimir Petkovic\u2019s men were held to a 1-1 draw by Wales in their first group game but can be backed at 11\/2 (6.50) to potentially secure their spot in the next stages by pulling off a shock win in Rome.<\/p>\n
Four of the last five encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 14\/5 (3.80) on them cancelling each other out once again.<\/p>\n
Italy vs Switzerland Team News<\/p>\n
Alessandro Florenzi has been ruled out after picking up a calf injury against Turkey, while Lorenzo Pellegrini is also unavailable and Marco Verratti unlikely to be risked as he continues his recovery from a knee injury.<\/p>\n
Denis Zakaria will be hoping to come into the starting line-up in order to add some bite to the visiting midfield, having started on the bench versus Wales.<\/p>\n
Italy vs Switzerland Preview<\/p>\n
While they were dominant for large spells of the match against the Welsh, Switzerland were eventually made to pay for their inability to turn chances into goals in a frustrating 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n
This does not bode well for a game against Roberto Mancini\u2019s side, which has now gone nine matches without conceding and let in just seven goals over the course of their current 28-match unbeaten streak.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, the home team have scored over three goals per match during that nine-match winning run, while their Swiss guests have only kept three clean sheets in 15 fixtures.<\/p>\n
Italy vs Switzerland Tips and Predictions<\/p>\n
All in all, odds of 13\/10 (2.30) seem generous on Italy maintaining their excellent run by coming out on top while keeping a clean sheet for their 10th match in succession.<\/p>\n
All odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
