When preparing a prediction for Spain U21 - Switzerland U21, it is worth noting that in modern football, the teams have only met once. The match took place in March of this year and was a friendly encounter, with Spain emerging victorious with a score of 3-2. It is worth mentioning that Spanish forward Rodrigo Riquelme scored a brace.
Spain U21
The Spanish national team was considered the main favorite for the “gold” in the U21 European Championship and fully justified this status during the group stage. Santiago Denia’s team comfortably dealt with Romania (3-0) and Croatia (1-0) in the first two matches, securing their place in the knockout stage. A 2-2 draw against Ukraine helped “La Roja” finish in first place.

Switzerland U21
The Swiss national team was not considered a clear contender for the knockout stage in their group, as France and Italy were undoubtedly the favorites. In the opening match, Patrick Rahm’s team defeated Norway 2-1 and entered the race for a spot in the knockout stage. Despite losses to France (1-4) and Italy (2-3), the Swiss managed to advance to the knockout stage thanks to a higher number of goals scored.

Prediction
Our expert pick:
The Spanish national team is definitely one of the best in terms of football quality in the tournament and is rightfully considered the favorite today. Switzerland, on the other hand, made it to the quarterfinals somewhat accidentally and hasn't shown anything extraordinary, losing two out of three matches in the group stage. Considering the difference in class and football quality, it is reasonable to assume that the favorite will secure a significant victory. We believe that the favorite will not disappoint. Prediction: Asian handicap (-1.5) on Spain. This outcome is offered at odds of 1.99 by 1xBet bookmaker. Spain will undoubtedly strive to settle the outcome within regular time and will likely launch immediate attacks. The chances of Switzerland keeping a clean sheet are minimal, as their defense lacks reliability, having conceded in each of their three matches in the Euros. However, they have also managed to score goals, so a goal exchange is likely to occur. Bet: Both teams to score. This bet is offered at odds of 1.98.
