Switzerland Preview – Can Swiss win three on trot?
Switzerland have come out of the blocks in impressive fashion in the World Cup qualifiers as the hosts have won both of their opening two games on the trot by recording victories over Bulgaria and Lithuania respectively.
Undoubtedly, Switzerland will face their biggest test in Group C though when Italy come to town and whom sit top of the group, but the Swiss will be in confident mood as they’ve lost just two of their last 13 matches in all competitions, one of which though was a 3-0 loss in the Euro 2020 against Italy.
Indeed, Switzerland have failed to beat Italy in each of their last nine meetings and this could be another tough fixture for the hosts here.
Italy Preview – Can Italy maintain lead?
Italy sit top of Group C four points clear of hosts Switzerland prior to this important top of the table clash at St Jakob Park and the visitors still remain unbeaten so far in these World Cup qualifiers as the Azzurri have continued their form from the Euro 2020.
Victories over Northern Ireland, Bulgaria and Lithuania along with a point in a draw with Bulgaria at home have helped Italy to the top of the group and the visitors know they just need to avoid defeat in Switzerland to maintain their comfortable cushion at the top.
However, Italy are in impressive form right now and possess far too much quality to just sit back and accept a point and having won 15 of their last 16 matches in all competitions, Italy look set for further success here.
