September 6, 02:45 Beijing time, the fifth round of the World Cup European qualifying matches in Group C home against Italy is about to kick off. The last time Switzerland met with Italy, they lost 0-3 and were at a psychological disadvantage. There is a lot of difference between the overall strength of the two sides, and I believe that Italy will be able to get back on track with a win in this match.
Switzerland's recent form is not bad, in the last warm-up match against Greece has been 2-1 to take the opponent, I believe that the team's overall condition and strength has not been affected too much. The team's style of play is aggressive, and in the past five matches they have scored more than two goals in four of them. However, the team has failed to win in the past four matches against Italy and swallowed a defeat, which is a certain pressure on the psychological level. Switzerland's central midfielder Zaka was diagnosed with a new crown and is out for this game, the overall strength of the midfield has dropped.
After drawing with Bulgaria in the last round of matches, Italy has broken its proud record of 35 matches undefeated in all tournaments, which shows that the overall team's form and strength have improved significantly. The team's recent form is also very stable, undefeated in the past ten matches and have six wins. Italy also has a strong ability to play on the road, remaining undefeated in their last ten away matches and winning eight of them.
LIVE: Italy is about to kick off at 02:45 on September 6th. The last time Switzerland met Italy, they lost 0-3, and are at a psychological disadvantage. There is a big gap between the two sides, so I believe that Italy will be able to get back to the winning track with a victory in this match.
