Euro 2020: Italy vs Switzerland: Dream11 prediction, head to head, key players, kick off time in India

Kolkata, June 15: Italy had begun their Euro 2020 campaign with a win over Turkey and they will be keen to keep the momentum going when they take on Switzerland in the second Group A tie to be held at the Stade Olimpico in Rome.

Italy are just one win away from entering the round-of-16, while on the other hand, with just one point on board, this looks to be a must-win game for the Swiss who were held in their opening tie against Wales.

Key players to watch out for:

Italy: Jorginho, Manuel Locatelli and Nicolo Barella were instrumental in the win against Turkey. Their performance against the Swiss will once again be the key.

Switzerland: It could be assumed that this game will be decided in the midfield battle, and Switzerland can take encouragement knowing they have a player capable of matching Jorginho and Co in Remo Freuler. The Atalanta midfielder's ability to break up play and interrupt the passing rhythm of Italy could be pivotal in dismantling the Italian system.
