On the back of an away defeat against Denmark, Switzerland welcome Spain in the second group stage match of Nations League. The fixture is scheduled to occur at Stade de Geneva on Sunday, 8 September. La Roja will also be desperate for points in this game after displaying a draw against Serbia in the previous match. Let’s find out picks for this game with detailed insights.
Spain to win 1.72 (18/25)
Switzerland have lost their previous two consecutive games in Euro and Nations League, winning only one match in five fixtures. On the other hand, Spain have been incredible in away games, confirming victories in five of the recent six outings. La Roja have also managed to stay unbeaten at Switzerland’s home in four H2Hs while recording three wins. Therefore, Spain would be confident to return to their winning momentum against Switzerland and seal all three points.
Both teams to score: Yes 2.05 (21/20)
After conceding goals in consecutive games of Euro, Spain managed a clean sheet against Serbia in the previous Nations League games. However, La Roja have also allowed goals to be scored in three of the recent four meetings with Switzerland, concluding three BTTS outcomes. On the other hand, Red Crosses have netted the ball in four of the recent five matches, conceding goals in four as well. With the current scenario, we predict both teams to bring changes to the scoreline in this game.
Correct score 8.50 (15/2)
Switzerland have rattled the net only once in three of the recent five matches in Nations League and Euro. Red Crosses have also been quite average against Spain, scoring four goals in the last five meetings. On the other side, Spain have clipped their rivals to scoring only one goal in four of the recent five competitive games. La Roja’s attack has also been producing favorable results by scoring multiple goals in four games, featuring three 2-1 victories. Given the current state of affairs, we predict the victory for Spain against Switzerland with the same scoreline.
