The UEFA Nations League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Spain take on Switzerland on Saturday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Switzerland are rooted at the bottom of Group 2 of the UEFA Nations League and have a mountain to climb to reach the knock-outs. The away side stunned Portugal with a 1-0 victory in June this year and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.

Spain vs Switzerland Prediction
Spain have an impressive squad at their disposal and will be intent on finding their best eleven ahead of the World Cup. Alvaro Morata is set to lead the line for the side and will need to prove his mettle this week.
Switzerland have a robust squad at the moment and can pull off an upset on their day. Spain have more depth in their ranks, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
Prediction: Spain 2-1 Switzerland
