THE PREDICTION

Italy’s world unbeaten record unbeaten run of 37 matches ended at the semi-finals stage of the UEFA Nations League against Spain, however the Azurri bounced back to secure third-placed by beating Belgium. They now turn their attention to qualification for the 2022 World Cup and this crunch clash with Switzerland. The two teams sit level on points in Group C and the winner of this match will be firmly on pole position to secure their spot in Qatar automatically. With the stakes extremely high in this one, a cagey affair is expected as both teams prioritise defensive stability knowing the ramifications of defeat. With that in mind, backing under 2.5 goals scored may well prove the smart play.
