THE PREDICTION

Despite losing manager Luis de la Fuente to the first-team after the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the Spanish under-21 side have been very impressive in this tournament. La Rojita finished at the top of Group B with two victories and then a draw with Ukraine in the final game, in which both sides heavily rotated. They now face a Swiss side that came through a group of death, finishing below France but above Italy and Norway on the head-to-head rule. They were fortunate, though, conceding eight goals in their group stages and Spain are firm favourites to win this one

BETTING TIP: SPAIN TO WIN
