What channel is Italy vs Switzerland? Live streaming details, TV channel, Kick-off time and team news

The UEFA Euro 2020 is back with some Group A action this week as Italy lock horns with Switzerland in an important fixture at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday. Italy are in excellent form at the moment and hold the upper hand going into this game.

Switzerland have good players in their ranks and were well on their way to a victory in their opening match only to be denied by a second-half Kieffer Moore goal. The Swiss will be in a difficult situation if they lose this game and will have to put their best foot forward this week.

Italy, on the other hand, were at their effervescent best against Turkey last week and will take plenty of confidence from their 3-0 victory. The Azzurri have a balanced squad under Roberto Mancini and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Italy vs Switzerland Team News

Italy

Marco Verratti and Alessandro Florenzi are both carrying niggles at the moment and are unlikely to be risked in this fixture. Manuel Locatelli and Giovanni Di Lorenzo are likely to start in their place against Switzerland.

Lorenzo Pellegrini has picked up a long-term injury and has been ruled out of the tournament. Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne found the back of the net last week and will lead the line for Italy in this match.

Injured: Lorenzo Pellegrini

Doubtful: Marco Verratti, Alessandro Florenzi

Suspended: None

Switzerland

Switzerland are a strong defensive unit and their established double pivot with Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler will have to play an important role this week. Xherdan Shaqiri and Breel Embolo are excellent outlets on the counter and their pace could trouble the Italian defence.

Injured: None

Doubtful: None

Suspended: None

About the author

Aditya is a European and international football writer at Sportskeeda, covering previews, news, post-match articles and live blogs for 5 years. During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.

Aditya is a semi-professional pianist and likes to participate in concerts and recitals when not immersed in football.
