Lukaku will likely be the main attacking threat as Belgium takes on Italy
Switzerland will try to follow up its shock elimination of world champion France against Spain on Friday, after reaching the quarterfinals of a major tournament for the first time in 67 years. Vladimir Petkovic’s side recovered from two goals down to force extra time against much-fancied France and prevailed on penalties as 2018 World Cup hero Kylian Mbappe missed the decisive spot-kick. Now the Swiss hope to spring another surprise against a Spain team that has scored 10 times in two games after a slow start to the group stage. Alvaro Morata’s redemptive strike helped secure a 5-3 extra-time win over Croatia, but Spain will need to cut out the errors if it is to contend for a record fourth European Championship.More Related News
