The result of the final round of the Nations League group stage carries no significance for Spain and Switzerland. The reigning champions are advancing to the playoffs, while the Swiss side are relegated to League B, having failed to bounce back after starting with three consecutive defeats.
On Friday, the Spain national team defeated Denmark away (2:1), thanks to contributions from reserve players Mikel Oyarzabal and Ayoze Pérez, with the Real Betis midfielder recording 1+1. Luis De la Fuente has confidence in his entire squad, especially as the substitute players are eager to make their mark in the starting lineup, generating 1.79 xG while allowing just 0.64 xGA. However, Spain are unlikely to overexert their players, particularly those still engaged in their club seasons, opting for a measured performance in Tenerife.
The Switzerland national team knocked the defending champions Italy (2:0) out of Euro 2024 during the round of 16, but completely faltered at the start of the Nations League, suffering three straight losses with an aggregate score of 1:8. In the fifth round, the Swiss missed out on a win against Serbia (1:1) after scoring only once despite generating 2.46 xG. Notably, Murat Yakin will field his squad against Spain without key forward Breel Embolo due to his accumulation of yellow cards.
On Monday, Spain and Switzerland are unlikely to endanger the health of their key players. The teams are expected to deliver a rather uneventful 90 minutes with minimal dangerous moments.
