Euro 2024: Football expert, Chris Sutton predicts selected round of 16 games

Former England striker and  football analyst,  Chris Sutton has predicted the result of Italy’s Euro 2024 Round of 16 clash with Switzerland.

Sutton also backed Germany to defeat Denmark in the round of 16 clash.

The former Chelsea man is, however, expecting a tough contest between Italy and Switzerland as they battle for a place in the quarterfinals.

Sutton wrote in his column for the BBC, “Switzerland ended up drawing with Germany in their final group game, but they were ahead for a long time, and it looked like they would top Group A.

“I am going to go with Italy. They are the holders, and they found a way to get the result they needed against Croatia in their last match in Group B.

He predicted a 1-0 win for the holders, adding, “I just have a feeling Italy will do the same here, and find a way to win, although it is going to be very close.”

Speaking about Germany against Denmark, he said, “I am still backing the hosts to get through this one, though, because they have got enough attacking firepower to get past the Danes’ defence.”
