Match Information
Date: September 8, 2024
Time: 7:45 PM UK, 12:15 AM IST
Competition: UEFA Nations League A
Venue: Stade de Genève, Geneva, Switzerland
Head to Head
Switzerland and Spain have faced each other 5 times in the past, with Spain holding the upper hand. Spain have won 2 of those matches, while Switzerland have only managed 1 victory. The remaining 3 matches have ended in draws.
The last time these two teams met was in September 2022, when Switzerland pulled off a surprise 2-1 victory over the European Champions in the Nations League.
Recent Form
Switzerland come into this game at the back of a disappointing loss to Denmark in their opening Nations League fixture, a 2-0 result. They were reduced to 9 men in that match, with red cards shown to Nico Elvedi and Granit Xhaka.
While this was happening, Spain kicked off their Nations League campaign with a goalless draw against Serbia. In a match that Spain would have dominated in terms of possession and chances, they failed to open their account.
Key Stats
- Spain are undefeated in 11 matches in all competitions.
- Switzerland have only won 1 of their last 5 games.
- Both teams have scored in 3 of the last 4 meetings between Switzerland and Spain.
- Switzerland are unbeaten in their last 10 home games.
Predicted Lineups
Switzerland (3-4-3): Kobel; Wuthrich, Akanji, Rodriguez; Widmer, Zakaria, Freuler, Aebischer; Vargas, Embolo, Rieder
Spain (4-2-3-1): Raya; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Cucurella; Rodri, Fabian; Yamal, Olmo, Williams; Perez
Switzerland vs Spain Prediction
This is an important match for both teams, trying to get their campaign back on track in the Nations League. Switzerland, though, will be without key players that are suspended, and this might prove a big disadvantage against the European Champions.
With their impressive record at home, I think Spain will nick this one and come away with a slender 2-1 victory. The visitors have ample quality and depth in their squad to make up for the few missing key players, and recent form would suggest that they are favorites to emerge on top.
