Italy achieved a rare feat in their previous match, as they played out a 1-1 draw against Bulgaria. They equaled the record for the European unbeaten run which is currently 35 matches for the Azzurri. Although the draw, came as a shock result to many given the fact that Italy were clear favorites to win the tie, Mancini will believe his side have enough firepower to come out with all 3 points against the Stubborn Swiss side.

Switzerland have started a new era under the leadership of Murat Yakin who took over the reins from Petkovic, after the EURO 2020. Yakin was off to a good start after the Swiss prized out a 2-1 victory over Greece in the friendly match in the buildup to this encounter against Italy.
