SPA vs SUI Dream11 Prediction: Switzerland travels to Madrid to take on Spain in the group A fixture in the Nations League. After comfortably beating Ukraine 4-0 and seeing out a draw against Germany, Spain now welcomes Switzerland to the Spanish capital in what will be the third game of the Nations League. After drawing 0-0 with Portugal in the International Friendlies on Wednesday, Luis Enrique’s men will be prepared to carry on their run in the Nations League. On the flip side, we have Switzerland who is yet to register a win in this season’s Nations League with a 2-1 loss to Ukraine and a 1-1 draw against Germany. They also lost their international friendly against Croatia 2-1 earlier this week. They will now have a feeling of uncertainty going into this game and coming up against a side like Spain who hasn’t lost in 12 matches. Switzerland is currently bottom of their group and will look to get their first win against the table-toppers. The two sides met in their first game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup where Switzerland beat Spain 1-0, but the Spaniards went on to win the grand prize in world football.

Who will win today match?
Bookmakers have naturally pegged Spain to win the game with odds of 1.36 and Switzerland are only at 8.50. Even though there is always the impending possibility of an upset in football, it will be highly unlikely when the two sides meet. Spain has a much better side with better players in every position. Spain has also been on a 12-game winning streak, facing sides like Portugal and Germany in the process. They will look to improve this winning run and gather as much momentum before the upcoming Euros next season. Luis Enrique will use this time to figure out his best 11 and a side like Switzerland will be perfect for that. The Swiss can use this to their advantage as they benched multiple first-team players for their game against Croatia which will provide them with a fully-fit and energetic squad for this game. However, Spain played their last game as well in Madrid and haven’t had the pain of travelling, unlike Switzerland who played a home game two days ago. Check out our SPA vs SUI Dream11 Match Prediction.
SPA vs SUI Dream11 Teams
Captain options
Gerard Moreno – After a spectacular 2019/20 season with Villareal where he scored 20 goals and provided 6 assists, he now has the chance to shine for his country. He only has 5 caps for Spain so far but has capitalized on them, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists. He will now look to cement his spot up front by winning Luis Enrique’s trust a goal or two against Switzerland will do just that.
Granit Xhaka – The Arsenal midfielder has had a great start to life in the Premier League and has become an integral part of the Gunners’ side over the last few months. He will be the driving force in midfield and might fancy a shot from range to test David de Gea who has been very shaky off late to catch Spain off guard and get an elusive goal.
Ansu Fati – The boy-wonder is turning heads in world football of late by scoring multiple goals for Barcelona. Linking up with a player like Lionel Messi at such a young age is a rare thing and it is clear that it has impacted his game for the better. He has already scored three goals in three appearances in the La Liga and has a very bright future ahead for club and country.
X-factors (differential picks)
Adama Traore – Adama Traore might start in the attacking trio after choosing Spain over Mali as his national team. Traore made his Spanish debut against Portugal when he got substituted on in the second half. He will now look to make his first start for the Spaniards and a goal contribution on his first start will really make him a favourite at the La Roja.
Ruben Vargas – Filling in for Breel Embolo upfront, is the Augsburg forward – Ruben Vargas. The part-Dominican striker has gotten off the mark this season with 2 goals and an assist in three-game this season. He has only played 6 games for Switzerland but will look to impress when he gets this opportunity. The 22-year-old faces a tough task against a defender like Sergio Ramos but that will further increase his credibility, should he manage to do well.
Sergio Ramos – Sergio Ramos is a player who will definitely go down as one of the best players in the world and one of the greatest defenders. He has won everything there is to win in football, including three consecutive Champions League titles, a World Cup and two Euros. The Spain and Real Madrid captain has played about 173 games for the national team and has scored 23 goals despite playing in the heart of the defence.
