2023 World Cup: Switzerland vs Spain predictions
This 2023 World Cup has been truly thrilling. And if you’ve been loving the tournament as much as we have – the next few days are set to be a footballing dream. This weekend will see some VERY BIG games as Switzerland take on Spain, and the USA are up against Sweden.
Here are a few expert predictions for the hotly anticipated Switzerland vs Spain.
With their wings clipped through circumstances of the national federation’s own doing, Spain breezed through their opening two group games against Costa Rica and Zambia. But things then got a lot tricker when they played another high-ranking team in Japan, convincingly beaten 4-0.
Switzerland had things relatively easy in the group stage and are yet to be properly tested. Although there are talented players in the squad, they aren’t at the same level as a team like Japan and the Spanish should return to winning ways for this round at least.
Prediction: Switzerland 1-2 Spain – (90MINS)
With Switzerland’s previous two games resulting in goalless draws, we expect Saturday’s last-16 tie to be another cagey affair.
Spain may have to be patient in their quest to break down the Switzerland defence, but we think they have enough quality in the final third to find a way through and claim a narrow victory.
Prediction: Switzerland 0-1 Spain – (SportsMole)
WTX Sports predict this will be a fairly drab performance with both sides struggling for goals. The Swiss’s last two matches have been goalless and Spain will have to practise patience to break down the defence. Spain should have just enough skill and experience to just edge out the Swiss.
