Spain vs Switzerland | UEFA Nations League | Pre Match

Spain will round off their Group 4 of League A campaign in the UEFA Nations League on Monday evening, with the reigning champions, who are through to the quarter-finals, welcoming Switzerland.

La Roja have already topped the section and will be present in the final eight, while Switzerland's relegation to League B has been confirmed, with a disappointing campaign leaving them in fourth on just two points.

Spain were not at their best against Denmark on Friday night, but it was another professional performance from La Roja, as goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Ayoze Perez handed them a 2-1 success in Copenhagen.

The result saw Luis de la Fuente's side move onto 13 points from five matches in Group 4 of League A, six points ahead of second-placed Denmark with just one game left, but they will still want to finish on a positive note against Switzerland.

Spain have scored 10 times and conceded just twice in their five matches in the section, winning each of their last four after drawing their section opener away to Serbia at the start of September.

La Roja are the reigning Nations League champions, having beaten Croatia in the 2022-23 final, while they are also the European champions, famously overcoming England in the final of Euro 2024.

Spain have now not lost a competitive match since March 2023, and the strength of their squad was on full display against Denmark; more players will now be hoping for opportunities to make their mark on Monday evening, as nothing substantial is on the line for either team.

Switzerland have never really got going in the section, losing their first three matches against Denmark, Spain and Serbia, before drawing 2-2 with the former at home last month.

A-Team were back in action on Friday night, drawing 1-1 against Serbia, with Zeki Amdouni on the scoresheet for the home team in Zurich before Aleksa Terzic came up with a late equaliser.

Murat Yakin's side have been relegated to League B, and they are without a victory in all competitions since recording a 2-0 win over Italy in the last-16 stage of the recent European Championship.

Switzerland have only ever beaten Spain on two occasions, including a famous 1-0 victory at the 2010 World Cup, while they overcame La Roja in the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League campaign.

Spain were 4-1 winners when the pair locked horns in the reverse match in this section, though, and there is no getting away from the fact that Switzerland have been below-par during the 2024-25 Nations League.
