SWITZERLAND FACE TOUGH ITALY TEST

Switzerland are potentially facing a big battle to qualify for the knockout stage at the ongoing Euro 2020 tournament from Group A ahead of the Italy game on Wednesday. The Swiss team will face an Italian team who have won their last nine matches without conceding a single goal.
Hosts Italy will start the game against Switzerland at the StadioOlimpico in Rome as favourites especially after the way they dispatched Turkey in the opening game of the tournament. The Italians made light work of an in-form Turkish team especially in the second half to deliver an impressive 3-0 win. All the three goals were scored in the second half of the game.

Italy were clearly the better team in the first half of their Group A clash with Turkey but they could not break their opponents down as the two teams played out a goalless draw. Turkey adopted a defensive approach and it paid off in the first half but the second half was different as the Italians took their opponents to the cleaners.

The Italians took the lead at the start of the second half when Turkey defender MerihDemiral put through his own net off the cross from Italy winger Domenico Berardi. Lazio striker Ciro Immobile doubled the leadfor the home team before Napoli winger Lorenzo Insigne wrapped up the emphatic victory.

Switzerland will face the in-form Italy on the back of the disappointing 1-1 draw with Wales. After a goalless draw in the first half, the Swiss team took the lead through BreelEmbolo after just four second half minutes. Wales then levelled proceedings through Kiefer Moore with sixteen minutes left on the clock to earn the share of the spoils.

As things stand in Group A, Italy lead the group with three points, while Wales and Switzerland are joint second with one point apiece. Turkey are last on the group standings with zero point ahead of their second group game against Wales on Wednesday.
