Switzerland vs Italy: Donnarumma to be kept busy in 14/1 bet builder

 

Switzerland and Italy kick off the round of 16 at Euro 2024 on Saturday evening. Italy are looking to defend their Euros crown, though they required a late equaliser against Croatia to even make the last-16. Tournament regulars Switzerland are yet to lose in Germany this summer, claiming five points from their three group stage games. 

 

Ahead of this first knockout stage game of the competition, we've picked out a 14/1 bet builder using oddschecker's Bet Builder comparison tool and can be found as short as 7/1 elsewhere. Find the bet below and add straight to your preferred bookmaker's betslip! 

 

Switzerland vs Italy - Draw 

 

Three of the six games Switzerland and Italy have played out at Euro 2024 have ended in a draw and fans can expect a nervy affair between these two European heavyweights as they seek to navigate their way to next month's final. Both sides also have history when it comes to playing out draws. 

 

Five of the last six meetings between Switzerland and Italy have ended in a stalemate, and it's a result we have predicted on WhoScored ahead of Saturday's game, so one to add to your bet builder. 

 

Fabian Schar - Over 0.5 shots 

 

Fabian Schar isn't against chancing his luck against opponents. Indeed, he managed at least one effort on goal in 20 of his last 27 league outings, and averaged one shot per game in the Premier League last season. In addition, the centre-back is averaging one shot per game at Euro 2024, so we're backing the Swiss defender to have at least one shot against Italy. 

 

 

Dan Ndoye - Over 0.5 shots on target 

 

One of Switzerland's key forwards at Euro 2024, Dan Ndoye has returned a WhoScored rating of 6.94 at the tournament and has fired off nine shots across his three outings; only seven players have had more so far. The Bologna man has had at least one shot on target in two of his three Euros outings, which included a goal in the 1-1 draw with Germany last time out, so he isn't put off by the level of opposition. With that, we've added Ndoye to manage at least one shot on target against Italy to round off the bet builder.
