Euro 2024 match schedule today (June 29): Round of 16 begins

The match between Switzerland and Italy will open the round of 16 at Euro 2024.

Switzerland are having a pretty impressive performance at Euro 2024. In the final match against Germany, they almost won, if not for the excellence of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and the late goal of Niclas Fullkrug. Switzerland is even being evaluated as being able to make a surprise in the knockout stage of the tournament.

On the other hand, Italy, although they reached the round of 16 in second place in Group B, can hardly be said to have had a good performance. The defending champions have 4 points after 3 matches, scoring 3 goals and conceding 3. Italy are facing a huge problem in attack, with Scamacca not showing his true form in a major tournament, and Chiesa not being himself after a ligament injury.

In this context, expecting Italy to score against a disciplined and tight team like Switzerland will be very difficult. However, Italy has the spirit of a champion, so the match will be quite balanced.

Next, the Euro 2024 round of 16 continues to witness an exciting confrontation between host Germany and Denmark.

Germany have only kept one clean sheet, but their defence is still considered one of the strongest in the tournament. Denmark, for their part, have struggled to score goals at Euro 2024, having only scored twice in the entire tournament so far thanks to Eriksen against Slovenia and Hjulmand against England. Meanwhile, Hojlund - a striker who plays for Manchester United - has not featured much in this tournament.

However, with overall strength and home field advantage, Germany is still rated higher. It is very difficult for Denmark to make a difference against the host team of Euro 2024./.
