Italy host Switzerland in Group C of the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers at the Stadio Olimpico. Both the sides have earned fourteen points from the six points so far and are first and second in the group standings respectively. Italy are at the top of the table solely due to a tad bit superior goal difference. The European Championships 2020 winners come into the game a 2-1 win over Belgium in the third-place match in the Nations League. Roberto Mancini’s men have had under 2.5 goals in four out of their last seven matches, courtesy of their highly resilient defensive performances. They have two clean sheets in a row in the qualifiers and also have kept sixteen clean sheets in their last twenty-four matches. A win for any of the two teams will virtually eliminate the second team from a possible direct qualification to the World Cup in Qatar.

Switzerland come into the game with a dominant 4-0 win on the road against Lithuania. The Lithuania win was the fourth clean sheet in a row for the Swiss. Switzerland also have had under 2.5 goals in three out of their last four matches and have conceded just a single goal in the qualifiers so far, much like Italy. It is also to be noted that four out of the last five meetings between the two sides have ended up with under 2.5 goals.
