Two teams that faced a challenging qualification process are set to meet. Switzerland, who came close to defeating Germany but settled for a draw late in the game, navigated a tough group alongside Hungary and Scotland. They showed resilience and almost secured first place.
Italy‘s journey was equally dramatic. They faced a setback with a late 1-0 loss to Croatia, leaving them in third place with 3 points and in a precarious position to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.
