Today's live stream of Switzerland vs Italy opens the knockout stages of Euro 2024 as the two evenly matched teams that finished second in their respective groups meet at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Switzerland is just minutes away from finishing first in Group A. Switzerland has no shortage of quality and is full of fight. This is epitomized by their captain, Granit Xhaka, who has been excellent throughout the tournament. With the dangerous Breel Embolo back to full strength, the Swiss are confident of ending their 11-match winless streak against their neighbors.

Exactly three years ago, Italy swept Switzerland 3-0 to win the European Championship. This time, the match will be even more tense. Coach Luciano Spalletti has yet to get the best out of his No. 9, but of course it will be difficult to break Italy down.

Before today's match, Swiss coach Murat Yakin was very confident of ending the slump against Italy. He said: "We are in good shape and can play unpredictably.
