Switzerland vs Spain Free Betting Tips – Nations League 2020

Switzerland threatens relegation against Spain

Betting Tips: Spain wins and both teams to score
Odds: 3.9

Final spurt in the UEFA Nations League Group 4, which could hardly be more exciting: three teams can still win the group, two of them meet on the penultimate match day, namely Germany and Ukraine, who fight for important points and group victory in a direct duel.

Although Switzerland can no longer finish first, it can help determine the outcome of the group. On Saturday evening, the Swiss will receive the Spaniards, who are in first place in the table, in the St. Jakob-Park in Basel – and can thus trip them up.

For their part, the Spaniards can take a big step towards group victory with a win and secure a match point – before they receive Jogi Löw’s DFB team in the big showdown on the last day of the match.

But the Swiss will want to prevent that, who in turn would be determined by a defeat as a relegated League of Nations. So there is a lot at stake for both of them. Let’s take a look at the game Switzerland vs Spain on the odds of the best bookmakers, we find that the Iberians are the favourites in the race, although the Swiss can also be trusted.

Switzerland – Statistics & current form

The Swiss have actually got off to a good start in Group 4 – they just haven’t been able to win yet. Twice they defied Germany a draw, at 1-1 at home and at the spectacular 3: 3 in Cologne there was actually more to it, after all, they even led 2-0 against the big favourites early on.

The fact that Switzerland is still bottom of the table is due to the screwed-up opening game, which was lost 1: 2 in Ukraine. The guest appearance in Spain was also just about to be thrown into the sand, here the Confederates presented themselves – unlike in the games against Germany – but too timid, fearful and harmless on the offensive to take anything countable against La Roja.

Switzerland has to score – otherwise, relegation is sealed

So there are only two points from the four previous games – but Switzerland had to compete three times abroad. The train to win the group has long since departed, rather the Confederates are now threatened with relegation on matchday 5 if they lose to Spain.

In a draw against Spain on Saturday, Switzerland will have to hope that Germany will win against Ukraine at the same time – after all, Ukraine has the worse goal difference of the two teams, who are currently draw with six points and still have group victory in mind.

Switzerland hopes for a “final” against Ukraine

In the direct duel on the last matchday, Switzerland could then leave the Ukrainian national team behind in the table with a win. If Ukraine and Germany tie, Switzerland will be relegated if they cannot win themselves.

A win is targeted, but it has to be at least a draw for the Swiss so that the hope of non-relegation on the last day of the game next week still sprouts. Anyone who trusts the Swiss to win that point will find Switzerland vs. Spain odds of 3.50 on the tip draw. Up to 4.30 at the top are even offered for victory.

The probable lineup of Switzerland:
Sommer – Akanji, Elvedi, Rodriguez – Xhaka, Freuler, Widmer, Zuber, Shaqiri – Seferovic, Embolo

Spain – Statistics & current form

Some fight against relegation, others for group victory. With a win in Switzerland, Spain can secure a match point before (probably) the key game for group victory with Germany next week.

Spain should win the game in Switzerland, otherwise, Luis Enrique’s team can be surpassed in the table by the winners Germany-Switzerland. If you look at the offers of the bookmakers, you can see that the Iberians at the game Switzerland vs. Spain are considered the favourite, the prediction for the away win is a very lucrative 1.92 on average.

Spain’s losing streak in away games

The odds are also so high because Spain recently had problems winning. In the last game in the Nations League, there was a surprising 1-0 defeat in Ukraine, in the friendlies before (0-0 in Portugal) and after (1-1 in the Netherlands) you could not win either.

Coach Luis Enrique’s team has been waiting for three games for a win and only scored one goal. Spain is currently experiencing an extraordinary lean period, especially in guest appearances: six away games in a row have not managed to win any more (five draws, one bankruptcy) – the longest winless series abroad for over 25 years.

Problems with scoring goals

The Spaniards, otherwise known for their attack swirls, have recently had problems scoring goals. This is another reason why Luis Enrique has nominated Juventus Turin attacker Alvaro Morata this time. In the 1-1 test match in the Netherlands on Wednesday, Morata didn’t manage to score, but at least the assist.

In the six international matches in the 2020 calendar year, Spain only managed to score more than one goal – in a 4-0 win against Ukraine.

The probable lineup of Spain:
De Gea – Roberto, P. Torres, Ramos, Reguilon – Busquets, Ruiz, Canales – Moreno, Morata, F. Torres

Switzerland vs Spain Free Betting Tips

For Switzerland, the home game against Spain is something of a relegation final – because if they go bankrupt they relegate to Nations League B. Relegation is also threatened with a draw – depending on the outcome of the parallel game between Germany and Ukraine.

Therefore, Switzerland has to enter the game with the aim of scoring the three points – since Spain also needs three points in the fight for group victory, we expect an exciting and very competitive duel with an open face.
