The reigning EURO champions will be looking to get their Nations League campaign back on track this Sunday after slipping to a shock draw in the opening round of matches against Serbia. However, they could face a challenging fixture against one of the surprise packages from EURO 2024 in the form of Switzerland in Geneva.
Before Betting On Switzerland vs Spain
The Spanish national side enjoyed a memorable summer of action on the field, adding the Olympic gold medal to their honors after winning the EURO 2024 title just a month earlier. Spain has been the dominant team in Europe this year, but they were reminded in midweek that there are no easy fixtures in the Nations League.
The Spanish could only play out a 0-0 draw against Serbia on Thursday evening. They boasted the dominance on the field, enjoying 74% of the possession, but they could muster just five shots on target from their 21 efforts.
Their failure to create clear scoring chances despite enjoying the ball was a reminder of their 2022 World Cup struggles, and they will be expected to return to winning ways when they come up against Switzerland on Sunday.
Switzerland were one of the surprise packages at the EUROs this summer, as they eliminated Italy on their way to the quarterfinal stage of the competition. However, their journey in Germany would ultimately come to an end after suffering penalty shootout heartbreak at the hands of England.
They were masters of their own downfall in midweek, as they saw two players sent off in the second half, before conceding twice in the final ten minutes in Denmark. However, they lacked a clinical edge throughout that encounter after registering just a single shot on target at Parken.
Switzerland vs Spain Odds & Picks

| Spain | TBC |
Spain were beaten by Switzerland in the previous encounter between the sides. However, the fact that the Swiss will be without key stars in the forms of Granit Xhaka and Nico Elvedi this weekend canβt be overlooked. Therefore, we will be siding with Spain landing a first Nations League win in 2024-25 this weekend.
