Our Analysis: Form of Both TeamsSpain face Switzerland in their final match of the Nations League group stage, and will be eyeing another trophy in the summer.
Luis De La Fuente’s side are holders of the UEFA Nations League and the reigning champions of Europe. Spain are looking to embark on another era of unprecedented success, just like the one that saw them lift three consecutive major trophies between 2008 and 2012.
Spain came into this international break knowing they had already booked their place in the quarter-finals. The new format means that the top two teams in each of the League A groups will make it through to the next stage.
Switzerland proved they are a dangerous foe at Euro 2024. They drew against Germany in their final group game before eliminating Italy in the first knockout round. England needed a penalty shootout to dump the Swiss out at the quarter-final stage.
With their chances of finishing in the top two already out of reach before their final match against Serbia, Murat Yakin's team is now playing for pride in this round of fixtures. The Swiss boast a wealth of talent in their squad, making the hosts cautious of the danger they present, even after recent setbacks.

Spain to Extend Impressive RunSpain recorded an emphatic 4-1 win over Switzerland in the reverse fixture. The win was made all the more impressive by the fact that Robin Le Normand was sent off after 20 minutes with his team 2-0 up. De La Fuente’s side were deadly on the counter and netted two goals in the second half to round off the win.
The Swiss fared well in the summer, but Murat Yakin’s side have struggled to get going in the Nations League. They were still searching for their first win coming into their final two group games of this competition. Therefore, we are backing the home side to win as part of our Spain vs Switzerland predictions.
