Tonight, the Spanish national team will welcome the Swiss selection in the fifth round of Group A of the League of Nations at the La Romareda stadium in Zaragoza, and the Spaniards need a win in this match so that the first place they currently occupy in the table depends only on them in the last match against Portugal. Spain started this edition of the League of Nations with two draws against Portugal and the Czech Republic, but in the next two rounds they achieved victories after defeating Switzerland by a minimum score and in the second leg against the Czech Republic with 2:0. Spain is currently the first in the table of Group 2 with eight points won from the maximum 12, but Portugal is right behind with only one point less, so the pressure on Spain before tonight's match is very big. But if any national team knows how to play under pressure, it's without a doubt Spain. Spain must beat Switzerland to keep their point advantage over Portugal, who they will play in the final round, although if the Czech Republic wins today, and Spain do the same, they would be guaranteed a place in the semi-final round before the end. Luis Enrique's side may not be as awe-inspiring as Spain's side at the start of the last decade, but they are still a team that can easily win.

Switzerland is currently in last place in the group with only three points won so far. In the League of Nations, the Swiss suffered three defeats in the first three rounds against the Czech Republic, Portugal and Spain, and in the last match in June they surprised Portugal and defeated it by a minimal score. The Swiss are a point behind third-placed Czech Republic and will need to chase a win against Spain to avoid relegation to League B. Recently, they have been playing quite erratically and the big question is how much motivation they will have going into this match due to the upcoming participation in the World Cup. A large number of teams that secured participation in Qatar in November are playing these games very cautiously, due to fear of injuries of leading players. But the huge advantage of Spain compared to Switzerland is the length of the bench and the larger selection of high-quality players that the selectors have at their disposal. I believe that the Spaniards want the first place in the group to depend exclusively on them and that they will take this match as seriously as possible and that with a possible victory in today's match they will go into the match against Portugal a little more relaxed.
