THE PREDICTION

Switzerland began their 2023 UEFA Under-21 European Championship group stage campaign with a 2-1 win against Norway in Cluj the other day. The Swiss have a very impressive attack in this tournament with the likes of Thursday’s goal scorer, Dan Ndoye, supporting Zeki Amdouni and Fabian Rieder. They face an Italian side that, captained by Sandro Tonali, have their own impressive level of pedigree and talent in the squad. They were beaten 2-1 by France the other day, though. This could be a close contest in the ‘group of death’ with both teams scoring seeming quite likely.

BETTING TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
