Switzerland have kept five consecutive clean sheets in qualifying.
Italy have conceded one goal through six qualifiers.
The reverse fixture ended 0-0 in September.
All to play for

Italy’s 37-game unbeaten run came to an end in their Nations League semi-final defeat to Spain but they still remain unbeaten in qualifying. The Azzurri have won four and drawn two of their six matches keeping five clean sheets with their last qualifier seeing them cruise to a 5-0 victory over Lithuania back in September.

However, their work isn’t done yet with Switzerland hot on the European champions’ tails. Both sides have conceded just one goal in qualifying with new Switzerland boss Murat Yakin leading his side to a 0-0 draw in his debut game against Italy. They are yet to concede under the new coach keeping four straight clean sheets and comfortably despatching both Lithuania and Northern Ireland last month. With two tight defences, there won’t be much to split these sides and with 10 clean sheets in qualifying for both teams combined I think it’s fair to say our under 2.5 goals prediction has a geat chance of landing.

Tense affair

A draw is enough to keep Italy top, so the longer they are kept out the more defensive they will become. A draw does nothing for Switzerland and with their place in the play-offs at least sealed they may opt to go for all three and Italy should pick off a goal on the counter-attack to emerge 2-0 winners.



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

瑞士队在预选赛中连续五次保持不失球。
意大利在六场预选赛中丢了一个球。
9月份的比赛以0比0结束。
一切都是为了

意大利在国家联赛半决赛中负于西班牙，结束了他们37场不败的战绩，但他们在预选赛中仍然保持不败。蓝衣军团六场比赛中赢了四场，平了两场，五场未失球。去年9月，他们在预选赛中以5-0战胜立陶宛。

然而，他们的工作还没有结束，瑞士紧跟在欧洲冠军的后面。两队在预选赛中只丢了一个球，瑞士新任主帅穆拉特·亚金在他的处子秀中带领球队0-0战平意大利。在新教练的带领下，他们还没有失球，并且在上个月轻松的淘汰了立陶宛和北爱尔兰。这两支球队都有严密的防守，不会有太大的优势来分裂这两支球队。两支球队在预选赛中都有10场比赛没有失球，我想可以说我们在2.5球以下的预测有很大的机会落地。

紧张的事情

一场平局足以让意大利保持领先，所以他们被挡在外面的时间越长，他们的防守就会越强。一场平局对瑞士队来说毫无意义，至少他们在附加赛的位置已经确定，他们可能会选择三场比赛同时进行，而意大利应该会在反击中进球，以2-0获胜。
