Italy looks to move into UEFA EURO 2020 knockout stages with win over Switzerland
Maybe the best thing that came out of Matchday 1 at the UEFA EURO 2020 for Group A leaders Italy, other than its dominant win over Turkey, was that the other game was a draw.
Italy goes into today’s late game knowing a win clinches a spot in the knockout stages, and the Italians could end up as Group A winners if they win and the other match is a draw again.
That would allow Roberto Mancini (by the way, how does he not have a club job?) to rest his players on Matchday 3, which could prove pivotal as the tournament moves into the Round of 16 and beyond.
In the other match, I would lean towards Wales, but that is a tough game. You can get a good price with Wales to win and both teams to score.
