Group 4 of the National League continues as Spain travel to Switzerland on Sunday. After a busy summer in which Spain won the Euros and Olympic gold, they struggled in their first game back to back with a goalless draw against Serbia. Spain attempted 21 shots during the game, but were given the same number of yellow cards (five) despite having a couple of shots on target in the opening and closing stages.
It’s a chance for Switzerland to bounce back from their loss to Denmark, but it won’t be an easy game, even at home.
Here’s the storyline, how to watch, and more.

Storyline
Swiss: Switzerland’s defence has been in top form, having conceded just one goal in their last five games, but this will be a tough game after Granit Xhaka and Nico Elvedi were both sent off against Denmark. Xhaka is one of the first players to feature in Switzerland’s squad and is an irreplaceable presence in midfield, especially against a tough opponent like Spain.
Spain: If they can repeat their performance against Serbia without a warning, Spain will likely win this game, and it will be a strong start to the game. Spain are one of the most talented national teams in the world, and when they can have possession, they are very hard to beat. Without Xhaka in midfield, there aren’t many Swiss players who can cut off Spain’s passes, so it should be a pretty exciting 90 minutes.
prediction
Spain’s attack is expected to be too strong for Switzerland and they will be looking to run wild to get back on track in the match. Select: Switzerland 0, Spain 3
