Preview & Prediction: Spain Vs Switzerland

 

Spain Vs Switzerland:

 

World cup favourite Spain will take on Switzerland in last game of first round of group stage. Spain which struggled against Saudi Arabia and South korea, finally regained form against Poland. Switzerland may be a good defensive side but depends too much on 2-3 players. Spain can easily win this game.

Key players:

 

Spain: Whole squad - 10 footballers are in top 30 rankings – Golden generation of Spain.

 

Switzerland: Tranquillo Barnetta and Alexander Frei.

 

 

Squad analysis:

 

Spain: No one can defeat them except themselves. No team can match Spain in talent. This is a group of excetionally talented footballers who are playing for a while as a team and they know each other well. If they lose as in 2009 Confederations cup, “Chokers” tag will be given to Spaniards permanently.

 

 

Switzerland: They depend on team strength and dodgy defence. They are famous for playing well against top teams. Lot of expectations on Tranquillo Barnetta. Spain will give special attention to control this talented midfielder

 

 

Final analysis: Spain regained form in last warm-up game. It has too many good players to crush Switzerland despite its impressive draw with Italy in last friendly match. Switzerland depends on 2-3 players for attack which can be easily be controlled by world class defenders. Spain is a strong favourite.

 

 

World Cup game Prediction: Spain 3 – Switzerland 0
