Germany and Switzerland both need a draw to qualify for the group phase and it is realistic for Switzerland that it will be difficult for them to beat Germany so this draw is fair enough for both of them to qualify from the group phase.

But Croatia also shouldn't be underestimated, they have a lot of experienced players who can be dangerous for Italy, I think Croatia and Italy still have the same percentage to qualify, because no matter what, Croatia is still a great team in Europe that cannot be underestimated.

The draw obtained by Switzerland vs Germany is still a profitable result for both teams. Good for Germany and also Switzerland. That way, Germany can still be ranked 1st and Switzerland can still secure a ticket to qualify for the round of 16 by being ranked 2nd.

Croatia cannot be underestimated. Even though their performance this time was not as good as their performance at the World Cup. But we have to remember they still have most of the same players who really have quality. So, even against Italy, Croatia can still be expected to play quite well as long as they are in their best condition. But if Croatia is still in the same condition as when they faced Spain and Albania then I don't think we can expect too much from Croatia. Luka Modric and his friends will definitely fight harder this time. Because this is like the last chance for them to win tickets to the round of 16.
