Switzerland v Spain betting tips: Swiss eye another upset

Goals from the much-maligned Alvaro Morata and Mikel Oyarzabal finally settled an eventful contest in Copenhagen that ended 3-3 after 90 minutes.

Croatia had taken an unexpected early lead when Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon allowed a back-pass from Pedri to squirm into the net.

Spain responded superbly through Pablo Sarabia, Cesar Azpilicueta and Ferran Torres but Croatia hit back with two goals in the last five minutes of normal time from substitutes Mislav Orsic and Mario Pasalic.

Neutrals will hope the goals continue to flow and both teams to score is an option at 10/11 while over 2.5 total goals could appeal in Switzerland v Spain betting tips at 19/20.

Switzerland v Spain head-to-head

These are familiar foes having met each other in the Nations League last year as well as a friendly in 2018.

Spain claimed four points from the Nations League fixtures but the teams looked well matched, with Oyarzabal’s 14th-minute goal proving to be the winner in the first meeting in Spain when there were only three shots on target.

The return game in Switzerland was more entertaining as the hosts took a first-half lead through Remo Freuler.

Nico Elvedi was was sent off after 79 minutes, though, and the 10 men were unable to hold on as Gerard Moreno snatched a late equaliser for Spain.

The 2018 friendly also ended 1-1 and that score is 6/1 to be repeated after 90 minutes in our Switzerland v Spain betting tips.

Key battles

Seferovic went into Euro 2020 as Switzerland’s biggest goal threat and after a slow start he has come to the party and remains a contender in Euro 2020 top goalscorer tips.

His early opener set the Swiss on their way to a 3-1 win over Turkey in their final group game to secure qualification for the last 16 before bagging a brace of headers against France.

Seferovic is 7/2 to add to his tally and Morata is 10/3 to open the scoring for Spain, while Ferran Torres was arguably Spain’s best player against Croatia and could be their match-winner.
