Switzerland have only eight wins from their previous 61 meetings against Italy. But they are still unbeaten this year and their only loss in 2023 came in the last game of qualifiers.
Italy have fond memories of playing in Berlin after beating France on penalties in the 2006 World Cup final. In the same stadium, they also defeated Austria 2-1 in the final of the 1936 Olympics.
Euro 2024 has been a tough experience for the Azzurri, conceding after just 23 seconds in its opening 2-1 win over Albania, then being thoroughly outclassed in a 1-0 defeat to Spain.
In contrast, defender Federico Dimarco is the only member of Italy's squad to have played in Switzerland, spending one season at Sion in 2017-18.
