Spain and Switzerland meet in a group 4 match of Group A of the UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Saturday, from 19:45, on Alfredo di Stefano Stadium.
Spain appears in this duel after a series of 14 matches in a row without defeat in all competitions. On the other hand, Switzerland is not in such good shape, being without a victory in the last three matches, registering two defeats. In the middle of this week, Vladimir Petkovic’s national team lost with the score of 1-2 on its own field, in front of Croatia, in a friendly match. Spain also failed to impress in the friendly in Lisbon, where they drew against Portugal, score 0-0. The Iberians dominated that confrontation, having 64% possession, but also six sutures on the goal area, unlike the hosts, who had only one such success.
In group 4 of the League of Nations, Spain is on the first position, with a victory and a draw, while Switzerland is the last ranked, with a draw and a defeat.
Switzerland presents itself in this confrontation without two important pieces, and the chances for a victory are extremely low. The draw does not seem to be a very probable result either, given the current form of Spain. Thus, we choose to bet on the victory of the hosts, and for a slightly higher odds, we propose a bet on a success obtained by Spain, at a difference of minimum goals.
