In the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League, Switzerland, the second place in Group A, and Italy, the second place in Group B, face each other. Both teams have shown a tenacious defense this year. When they enter the knockout stage of a do-or-die game, they play with more consistency. They often grind into overtime and even shoot each other from 12 yards. The two armies play fairly close to each other, and the battle and recent history is worth a 50/50 shot.
Italy beat Croatia 1-1, scoring 3 goals and losing 3 in their three group games. The striker is not strong enough, but the defense remains stable. The midfielders and backfielders are highly capable of controlling the game. Goalkeeper Kianlucchi is a guarantee of more confidence in Lomma's 'upper body'. The biggest key for Italy to win the cup for the last time was the monumental morale and strong defense. In the last edition, starting from the round of 16 to the final, three of the four knockout matches were legal time, and finally through overtime and 12 yards, Italy was not afraid to play a war of attrition with their opponents.
Switzerland's record and history is not as illustrious as Italy's, but in recent years it has become one of Europe's hard-to-beat teams, and in the last eight, against France and Spain, it could be in the 90th minute, adding to a 12-yard loss to Poland in the 2016 Round of 16, and Switzerland has battled to the 12-yard stage in its last three Europa League knockout matches.
Switzerland has also shown resilience in the group stage. There have been one win and two draws in three group stage games this year, including a 1-1 match with host Germany. Switzerland is 1-4 in their last five Eurocup games. In this match, they hold steady with the Dali team and have a high chance of restarting and playing.
