Defending champions Switzerland & Italy will square off in the first pre-quarterfinal encounter of the European Championship (Euro Cup 2024) at Olympia Stadium at 9:30 PM, Indian Standard Time today.
Switzerland has only won eight of their past 61 meetings against Italy, and they haven’t defeated them in 31 years.
However, the Swiss have won all of their games this year, and their lone setback in 2023 occurred in the final qualifying match.

Italy had happy memories of playing at Berlin’s Olympia Stadion, having won its last match there (a 2-1 victory over Austria in the 1936 Olympic Games final) and defeated France on penalties in the 2006 World Cup final.
The Azzuri have had a challenging time at Euro 2024 thus far.
They lost their opening 2-1 victory over Albania after only 23 seconds, were utterly outmatched in their 1-0 loss to Spain, and needed a late goal from Italy substitute Mattia Zaccagni to salvage a 1-1 draw against Croatia in order to finish second in Group B.
After opening with a 3-1 victory over Hungary, Switzerland drew 1-1 with the host country, Germany.

Important data prior to Switzerland vs Italy having reached the knockout stage in its last three championships, Switzerland has not advanced past the group stage in its first three appearances at the European Championship.
In their previous six games at the Olympia Stadion, Italy has always scored. Italy became the first team to win multiple penalty shootouts at the same European Championship in the most recent edition, while Switzerland has only won one of its four penalty shootouts at a World Cup or Euros.
Italy won Euro 2020 after defeating England 3-2 on penalties.
