While they didn’t secure all three points, Switzerland impressed against Wales and were denied the win by a late Kieffer Moore header in a 1-1 draw.
Here’s everything you need to know about the match:
When is it?
The fixture will kick-off at 8pm BST at the Stadio Olimpico.
How can I watch it?
The match is live on ITV1, with coverage starting from 7.15pm BST. It can also be streamed online via ITV Hub.
What is the team news?
The game will likely come too soon for Marco Verratti, who has overcome a knee injury but may not be match fit. Manuel Locatelli, linked with a move to the Premier League, will join Jorginho and Nicolo Barella in midfield. Giovanni Di Lorenzo will start in place of Alessandro Florenzi, who has a calf issue.
Vladimir Petkovic may bring in Denis Zakaria to counter Italy’s strength in midfield. The Swiss also called up goalkeeper Gregor Kobel to replace the injured Jonas Omlin as cover for Yann Sommer.
Confirmed line-ups:
Italy XI: Donnarumma, Di Lorenzo, Bonucci, Chiellini, Spinazzola, Barella, Jorginho, Locatelli, Berardi, Immobile, Insigne
Switzerland XI: Sommer, Elvedi, Schar, Akanji, Mbabu, Freuler, Xhaka, Rodriguez, Shaqiri, Embolo, Seferovic
Odds:
Italy: 4/7
Draw: 3/1
Switzerland: 11/2
Prediction:
While Italy were dominant in their win over Turkey and are deserved favourites here, don’t rule out a draw as Switzerland can be stubborn. However, I think Italy will have too much. 3-1 Italy.
