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.

Vladimir Petkovic’s 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.

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.

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.

Italy vs Switzerland Preview

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.

This does not bode well for a game against Roberto Mancini’s 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.

What’s 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.

Italy vs Switzerland Tips and Predictions

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.
