Euro 2024: Hungary vs Switzerland, Spain vs Croatia, and Italy vs Albania
Here’s a brief overview of the Euro 2024 matches:
- Hungary vs Switzerland: This match is part of Group A, which also includes Germany and Scotland. Hungary has been on an incredible rise, evoking comparisons to the 1954 team that finished second at the World Cup. They qualified for three straight Euros and finished unbeaten in their most recent qualifying run. Switzerland, on the other hand, has a penchant for success, having made it to the quarterfinals of Euro 2020 and the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup.
- Spain vs Croatia: This match is part of Group B, which also includes Italy and Albania. Spain is favored against Croatia in this match. Both teams are among the most successful European nations in the last decade or so. Spain made the semifinals at the last Euro and won the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League. Croatia, meanwhile, made the 2018 World Cup final and was third in Qatar in 2022.
- Italy vs Albania: This match is also part of Group B. Italy is a big favorite in this match, despite their failure to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. Albania, on the other hand, is considered the most underrated team in the tournament. They won their qualifier group over Poland and Czech Republic, and over 50,000 Albanian fans have traveled to Germany for the tournament.
