Switzerland vs Spain preview

There has been criticism of Luis Enrique's side following their two draws in the last week, with the team showing themselves to be weak defensively while not capitalizing on their chances created.

These two sides met in the knockout rounds of last summer's Euro 2020 tournament, where a tight game which finished 1-1 after 120 minutes was decided on penalties with the Spaniards triumphing.

Indeed, this will be the fifth meeting between the two sides in the last four years with three of those encounters ending 1-1 and the other seeing La Roja edge out 1-0 winners.

Another tight game is likely to be on the cards this week and opposing a high-scoring encounter should surely appeal.
