Round of 16 saw both teams take part in two of the most interesting matches of the tournament so far. Switzerland eliminated World Cup champions France in a penalty shootout, whilst Spain defeated Croatia in a dramatic comeback match that saw eight goals.
Switzerland provided the biggest upset of the Euro 2021 tournament, and one of the best football stories in history. France have a team worth 1.03 billion euros and were the favorites to reach the quarter-finals at 1.28 odds. The Swiss have a 288.50 million euro team and were valued at 3.50 odds to qualify.
They showed resilience and determination, but also a huge amount of quality in that match. After taking the early lead, Switzerland went down 1:3 in the 75th minute. However, they mounted a comeback and finished the match 3:3. Vladimir Petkovic’s squad eventually triumphed via penalties and qualified for the quarter-finals.
As for Spain, it’s safe to say they got the wake-up call they needed. After finishing second in the group stage, behind Sweden, Spain was paired with a seemingly lacking Croatia team. They started the match trailing in the 20th minute due to an own goal but soon took a 3:1 lead. However, Croatia didn’t give up and tied the match in stoppage time, forcing extra time. Spain were able to score twice more, and Enrique’s team was able to advance.
Again, Switzerland are viewed as the underdog in this one, and the bookmakers have them winning at 5.50 odds, whilst Spain are given 1.66. On paper, Spain have the better squad and are expected to take the victory. But Switzerland have proven that they shouldn’t be underestimated.
Spain are a very fast team that likes to hold on to the ball and wear down opposing sides with precise passing and constant pressure. They scored the most goals of any team in the tournament, with 11, and they showed in their previous match that they can turn up the tempo at any time. We should expect an increase in discipline after their dramatic match against Spain.
But, Switzerland have increased their form dramatically since the start of the tournament and are looking like a formidable opponent. Their passing has been much more deliberate and they have created chances against a tough French defense. They certainly have a chance in this one, but the question remains just how much this team has left in the gas tank.

Odds at bet365 as at 11 am 1st July 2021. Odds may now differ
Spain have exercised discipline in all of their matches at the Euro 2021 tournament and are rewarded with a very low number of bookings. They saw 4 yellows in the group stage but still managed to get no cards in their dramatic match against Croatia. They are aware of the importance of discipline, and they want to avoid missing players in the next stages of the tournament.
Switzerland did an amazing job to disqualify France in a very emotional and dramatic match. However, fatigue and the absence of Xhaka in this match will prove to be a crippling blow to this team. They will be on the back foot constantly with Spain using their speed and ball control to put pressure on the Swiss defense.
Switzerland will hold up for a time, and perhaps even avoid conceding in the first half, but eventually, Spain will breach their defenses and get the victory. The Swiss are resilient, and will not route, but their efforts simply won’t be enough to avoid conceding one or two goals against La Roja.
