After Belgium – Italy and Czech Republic – Denmark, the third quarter-final of this championship is now known, the match will be Switzerland vs Spain this Friday at 18:00 at Saint-Petersburg.
After the unexpected defeat of France on Monday evening by an opponent which seemed somehow inferior and to which they never lost before on the big stage: Switzerland. The reigning World Cup champions and the number one favorites of bookmakers saw themselves kicked out of the competition, causing a big redistribution of cards as to which team will win this Euro21.
Switzerland
We are still taken aback by the feat which Switzerland realized against France some days ago. The “Helvètes” only managed to qualify at the 3rd position of their group after a heavy defeat from Italy (3-0) and a draw against Wales (1-1), the match-up seemed like a complicated one against the “blues” who had a better performance so far. But surprisingly, Yann Sommer and his teammates have impressed! After a crazy game with more than 5 goals scored, the “Helvètes” had to wait to reach the penalty kicks to eliminate France from the competition. And this success gives them the key to challenge Spain in the quarter-finals.
Spain
On the other hand, Spain has picked up the pace. After the first two rounds of the group stage, Spain’s performance worried their supporter. With two draws against Sweden (0-0) and Poland (1-1), the “Rojas” were already in a dire situation before the ultimate encounter in his group. To ensure a spot in the Round of 16, Sergio Busquets teammates didn’t show any mercy to Slovakia with a clean win of 5-0. Then Faced with Croatia in the round of 8, they had to play overtime. But with the help of their goalkeeper, the Rojas resisted the continuous assaults of the Croatians and even succeeded to score, then took a second goal advantage thanks to Mikel Oyarzabal which pinned Croatia’s neck to the ground and imposed themselves 5-3.
Prediction
Their last 4 h2h records show an equilibrium with 1v each and two draws. Switzerland could be statistically favorite for this game as their win was during the group stage of the World Cup 2010. But due to the recent form of Spain, we have the impression the Hélvétés won’t realize a new feat in a few days gap. Spain won’t let any surprise, as the France match was a warning. I will go with the victory of Spain for this match with the odds average at 1.691 on VIP-IBC.
