Italy made the perfect start to life in Group A, securing a 3-0 win against Turkey. Italy hadn't scored more than 2-goals in any Euros game before and we're expecting Switzerland to offer much more of a challenge than Turkey did, even though they failed to beat Wales.

Read on for our full match preview and prediction for Turkey vs Wales in the European Championship.

Italy & BTTS

Italy have a great defensive record and were relatively untroubled by Turkey on matchday one, but three of their last four games against Switzerland have seen both teams score. Switzerland have scored in all of their last seven international matches and both teams have scored in four of their last six outings, including the 1-1 draw with Wales. Italy have won each of their last six matches and we're expecting them to extend that winning run on Wednesday.

Over 2.5 Goals

Each of Italy's last three matches have produced over 2.5 goals and the Italians scored three goals against Turkey in their first group game, the first time they have scored more than two goals in any European Championship game. Five of Switzerland's last seven games have also produced over 2.5 goals, so you can see just why we're backing goals in Wednesday's clash.

2-1 to Italy

Italy might have won 3-0 last time out but that is the first time they have scored more than two goals in a Euros game. Switzerland will offer more of a challenge than Turkey did as they looked good against Wales, despite failing to win that game. Switzerland are in good goalscoring form and we believe they will score past Italy but they hosts and favourites have netted at least two goals in each of their last six matches and a 2-1 final scoreline could be on the cards.

Italy aiming for another dominating display

Italy looked so good against Turkey that many pundits are now backing them to go all the way and win Euro 2020. However, Turkey didn't offer much of a threat and played right into the hands of the Italians, something we're not expecting Switzerland to do. Verratti and Pellegrini could be joined on the sidelines by Florenzi after the Italian full-back had to be substituted during the 3-0 win over Turkey.

Switzerland secured a point in their opening game against Wales but really should have won. Wales started the game brightly but Switzerland soon took control of the possession and created numerous chances to open the scoring. In the second half, Embolo headed Switzerland in front and that goal looked like it would be enough to win the game. However, the Swiss were punished for not making more of their chances when Kieffer Moore headed Wales level and the game finished 1-1. Switzerland won't see as much of the ball against Italy as they did against Wales, so taking their chances when they do arrive will be imperative.
