The Spaniards had their least trouble during their four-match winning streak, against Switzerland, which they managed to beat 4-1 away. In the last round, Luis de la Fuente men beat Denmark away (2-1), allowing their opponent to score a consolation goal only at the end.
It is worth paying attention to the depth of https://rfef.es/es target=_blank rel=noopener>the Spanish squad. Rodri, Yamal, Carvajal dropped out due to injuries, but this did not seriously affect the overall pattern of the game.

Current form
Switzerland has become one of the main disappointments in the current Nations League. Obviously, the team had little chance of competing with Spain on equal terms. However, the team clearly expected to fight for second place against Denmark and Serbia. But in the end, Murat Yakin team approaches the final round in last place and has no chance to rise higher, since even in the event of an equal number of points with the Serbs, they are inferior to them in personal meetings.
In fact, after the first round it was already clear that the Swiss had no chance in the group - three defeats with a total score of 1:8. Later they managed to stabilize the game somewhat, but they still could not win. There were draws with Denmark (2:2) and Serbia (1:1). Thus, next season the team will play in League B.
Many of the problems of the Swiss team are connected with the fact that there is a change of generations. There are enough talented players, but it takes time to get used to each other. This is especially true for the game in defense – the team did not play to zero in any of the five matches, and in four cases they conceded at least two goals.

1.65Tip and bets
The upcoming match has no tournament significance for either team. It is quite possible to expect a fairly relaxed and bold game from the opponents. The updated Swiss team is not currently a formidable force, which was noticeable throughout the tournament, especially weak in defense. We do not think that Spain will have any difficulties in scoring several goals and achieving a confident victory purely on class. Bookmakers offer good odds on the favorite, which can be used when choosing bets on the game.
Our prediction is a victory for Spain with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.75
Bet on total
Switzerland failed to keep a clean sheet in any of the five matches they played in the Nations League, and conceded four goals to the Spanish in the first round. There has been no noticeable progress in the team defensive performance during the tournament. Given that the game is of no tournament significance, we expect open, productive football from the opponents.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.77
Bet on the exact difference in the score
In five matches played in the League of Nations, the Swiss team has lost three times. All defeats were by a difference of two or three goals. It is highly likely that the Spaniards will win comfortably today, especially since the opponent has significant problems in defense.
Prediction: Spain wins by two to three goals with odds of 2.80
