SUI vs SPA Today Match Prediction: Who will win SUI vs SPA Dream11 Match
Unsurprisingly, bookmakers have heavily favoured a Spain win at 1.91 by Coral and Betway with a Switzerland win at 4.00. On paper, it is a rather straightforward win for Spain given the form of the two sides but Switzerland will look to take notes from the Ukraine game and pull off a shock result. Spain will know that a loss in the SUI vs SPA Today Match Prediction can be detrimental to their campaign as if Germany or Ukraine get a win, the La Roja will sink to second place. But Switzerland hasn’t won in their last 6 games and it will take a special performance to beat Spain.
SUI vs SPA Dream11, Captain & Differential Picks
Captain Options –
Switzerland –Â
Mario Gavranovic – Gavranovic has had a great start to the season with 5 goals and 2 assists so far in the Croatian league. For Switzerland, he has 2 goals in 1 start scoring 2 goals against Germany in their 3-3 draw. He will look to test the Spanish defence and exploit their vulnerabilities in the final third.
Haris Seferovic – Sewferovic has started just 1 game (6 appearances) for Benfica but has managed to score 6 goals in 218 minutes of football, averaging a goal every 36 minutes. He has a goal and assist in this season’s Nations League, scoring against Ukraine and assisting against Germany.
Xherdan Shaqiri – With injuries and unavailabilities in the Liverpool squad, Shaqiri has an added incentive to perform well to get a peak in the lineup. So far, he has played 53 minutes and managed to assist the winning goal against West Ham. Having recovered from the Coronavirus, he should be fit and ready to go.
Spain –
Alvaro Morata – Morata is having a renaissance of sorts at Juventus with 6 goals and 2 assists in just 8 appearances. After a long time out of the Spain squad, Morata returned for the game against the Netherlands and bagged an assist for the opening goal as well. He has also provided 10 key passes while creating 12 chances which will ring the warning lights for Switzerland.
Mikel Oyarzabal – Real Sociedad are having a dream start to their La Liga campaign as they sit in the first place and Oyarzabal is one of the reasons why. He has scored 6 times and provided 2 assists in just 7 starts this season and has 2 goals and an assist in his last 3 games. He has also provided 13 key passes and created 15 chances this season while firing 13 shots on target.
Ferran Torres – Ferran Torres hasn’t had the dream start that he had hoped for in the Premier League with just an assist in 3 starts but he has done well in the Champions League where he bagged 3 goals in 2 starts. He has a passing accuracy of 87% in all competitions and he also scored for Spain during their rout against Ukraine.
Differential picks –Â
Steven Zuber – The Frankfurt midfielder is yet to get off the mark in terms of goals or assists this season but he has created 16 goal scoring chances in 424 minutes of football, averaging a chance every 26 minutes. He has also succeeded in 8 dribbles on the left flank and has a passing accuracy of about 80%.
Mikel Merino – Another member from the rampant Real Sociedad squad is the orchestrator in midfield – Mikel Merino. He has only a goal and two assists this season but has provided 10 key passes and created 12 chances and has 100% shots on target rate in the La Liga. He also succeeded 10 dribbles, 18 clearances and 12 interceptions.
