For the first time at the European Football Championships Italy plays in the afternoon. At 6pm on Saturday 29 June there is Italy’s first knockout match against Switzerland, group B runners-up versus group A runners-up. Here’s where to watch Italy-Switzerland first round of 16 of Euro 2024. If regulation time ends in a draw there will be extra time and penalties.
Italian training
In the group, Italy obtained a victory against Albania, a defeat against Spain and a last-gasp draw with Croatia and never really convinced. The Azzurri should play with a three-man defense, therefore with a fencing (4-3-3). The captain of this national team is the European champion goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, the revelation Riccardo Calafiori will be missing due to suspension. This is the probable formation: Donnarumma: Darmian, Mancini, Bastoni; Di Lorenzo, Barella, Fagioli, Cristante; Chiesa, Scamacca; El Shaarawy. Coach Spalletti
The opponents
Italy and Switzerland have faced each other 61 times in their history with 29 wins for the Azzurri, 7 for the Swiss and 24 draws. The last match is negative for the Azzurri because the draw with the Swiss in the qualifiers meant that Italy did not qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. Three players from Bologna, the revelation of the championship that reached the qualification for the Champions League after 60 years, play for Switzerland: Ndoye, Freuler and Aebischer. This is the probable Swiss formation (3-4-3): Sommer; Schär, Akanji, Rodriguez; Ndoye, Xhaka, Freuler, Rieder; Aebischer, Embolo, Vargas. Coach Yakin

The last two encounters with the Swiss are full of bitterness and the Sisal experts are basing it on the desire for revenge, seeing the Italian triumph at 2.45, while for that of Switzerland it goes up to 3.30.
