Switzerland – Spain

Switzerland are set to play Spain at the Gazprom Arena on Friday in the quarter-final of the Euro 2020. Switzerland come into this game on the back of a 3-3 (4-5 pens) win over Didier Deschamps’ France on Monday in the Round of 16. Switzerland eventually triumphed on penalties, with Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe’s attempt being saved by Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer. Spain, on the other hand, beat Zlatko Dalic’s Croatia 5-3 on Monday in the Round of 16.

In 22 head-to-head encounters between the two sides, Spain hold the clear advantage. They have won 16 games, lost one and drawn five. The two countries last faced each other last year, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.

Switzerland shocked the world by beating France in the Round of 16, and will be brimming with confidence,  while Spain are finding their groove after a slow start to the tournament. They have scored five goals in their last two games. Spain will be the favourites, although Switzerland will not make it easy for them. Our prediction is for a spanish win and goal/goal.
