LiontipsSwitzerland vs Spain. Prediction and Betting Tips for Euro 2020 (July 2, 2021).
Command Analysis
The Swiss national team was considered one of the contenders for qualification from the group - Italy were definitely the favorite, but the Swiss were quite capable of competing with Wales and Turkey for the second line. In the first round, Switzerland were not very confident and remained content with only a 1:1 draw with Wales, although they had the advantage during the game.
In the game against the Italians, the Swiss played poorly in defense, which resulted in three conceded goals. Vladimir Petković's charges could not create anything in the attack themselves. In the last round, Switzerland needed a victory over Turkey to reach the playoffs. That task was not too difficult for them - in Baku the Swiss won with a score of 3:1 and qualified from third place.
The opponent for the Round of 16 was more than formidable: Switzerland were matched against France. The Swiss were considered an obvious outsider. However, they managed to put up a fight: by the 75th minute, Switzerland were losing by two goals, but managed to come back and level the score. In the penalty shootout, the French were less fortunate and the Swiss to advanced to the quarterfinals.
The Spanish national team was considered the undisputed favorite of their group - Slovakia, Poland, and Sweden were clearly weaker teams. Nevertheless, in the first group game, the team of Luis Enrique faced fierce resistance from the Swedes and couldn't score. The match against Poland ended in a draw (1:1), but this time Spain did not score a penalty.
Spain had to beat Slovakia in the last round, but the game started with another failure to score a penalty. Nevertheless, Furia Roja pressed on and found the back of the net - five goals were scored against Slovakia. However, the Swedes also won their last group game, and Spain qualified from second place.
In the Round of 16, Spain went against Croatia, once again having a rough start. Pedri's ridiculous own goal forced the Spaniards to take control of the game. The advantage of Spain was colossal and they managed to score three goals, but the Croats leveled the score. However, there was no penalty shootout: in extra time, Furia Roja scored twice and thus advanced to the quarterfinals.

Tip and bets
Spain have problems, but they reached the quarterfinals and no one can say that they didn't deserve it. The Spaniards know how to improve and adjust during the game, which has been shown more than once at this tournament. They have a clear advantage over Switzerland in class and are considered favourites for a reason. Switzerland performed a miracle against France, but they spent a lot of energy. Objectively Spain are stronger now.
We believe that the favorite will get to the semifinal. Our prediction - Spain to win.
The Spanish national team has scored eight goals in the last two games, but we don't think that it makes sense to count on such performance in the quarterfinal. Switzerland defend much better than the Slovaks or the Croatians, and they obviously will play on the defensive.
Our second bet - total under 2.5 goals.
If you like to take risks, here is a bet with higher odds - Spain to win with a margin of two goals.
