Spain – Switzerland: bookmaker odds
After two days of the second draw of the League of Nations, the Spanish team took the lead in the 4th group of League A. Luis Enrique’s team started with a crazy draw in Stuttgart in a duel with the German team, saving in the last seconds of injury time. And then there was an easy walk in the home game against the Ukrainian team, which the Spanish won 4: 0 without much resistance from the opponent.

After a couple of October games, “Red Fury” can strengthen its positions in the tournament, simultaneously eliminating two competitors from the queue at once. To do this, in fact, he must beat the Swiss in “Alfredo Di Stefano” and then deal with serious personnel problems of the Ukrainian national team in Kiev. This task is, in principle, very real and feasible.

The Swiss national team started with a defeat in Lviv of the Ukraine national team with a score of 1: 2, and a few days later Vladimir Petkovich’s team put up a fight to the Germans and achieved an honorable draw result: 1: 1. The other day, “Nati” played a friendly match in St. Gallen against the Croatian team, which lost with a score of 1: 2, although they won during the first half. However, this result is unlikely to bother the Swiss in any way. Spain, by the way, drew 0-0 with Portugal in Lisbon, extending their unbeaten streak to 14 games (+ 10 = 4-0).
Spain – Switzerland: indicative alignments
Both coaches will not be able to engage all the strongest players in October. Luis Enrique, for this training campus at least, has lost Real Madrid’s main right-back Dani Carvajal, and midfielder Thiago Alcántara, who recently moved to Liverpool from Bayern Munich, will not help Red Fury. Well, Napoli midfielder Fabián Ruiz didn’t make it to Spain. In Lisbon, Lucio used mainly reservists, and Spain will play a completely different squad for the match with Switzerland.

As for Vladimir Petkovic, he has defender Kevin Mbabu of German Wolfsburg, his teammate, midfielder Renato Steffen (a week ago his Covid-19 test result came back positive), and forward Josip Drmich, who currently plays for “Norwich”. In addition, for various reasons, the coach cannot count on three Borussia Gladbach players at once: defender Mikael Lang, midfielder Denis Zakaria and forward Bril Embolo.

Spain vs Switzerland: author’s prediction
Spain is the undisputed favorite of the next game. At the same time, the “Red Fury” has not only lost to anyone in already 14 fights, but also played successfully in their fields, and at this time the Spanish have an active series of seven consecutive victories at home, and in the last five fights “Red Fury” won big or even crushed the opponent. Honestly, I do not expect the defeat of Switzerland, but I think that taking points from Petkovic’s favorite team is not going to shine under any circumstances. In this century, “Nati”, however, has not yet lost to “Red Fury”, having beaten the future world champion in South Africa in 2010 and drawn in a friendly match in the summer of 2018, but all, as you know, it happens for the first time. As for the forecast, I bet on the victory of the Spanish team in one or two goals and I doubt very much that the Swiss can score.
