Group stage play in Nationa League Group 4 rolls on as Spain Travel to Switzerland on Sunday. After a busy summer that saw Spain lift the Euros and secure Olympic gold, they sputtered in their first Game back in action playing to a goalless draw against Serbia. It wasn't for a lack of trying as Spain took 21 shots during the match but they also picked up the same amount of yellow cards (five) as they had shots on target in what was a start-and-stop affair.

It's an opportunity for Switzerland to bounce back after losing to Denmark but it won't be an easy match for them despite playing at home.

Storylines

Switzerland: Switzerland's defense has been in top form as of late only allowing for goals in their last five Games, but after Granit Xhaka and Nico Elvedi both received red cards against Denmark, this one will be tough sledding. Xhaka is one of the first names on the team sheet for the Swiss and an irreplaceable presence in midfield especially facing an opponent as tough as Spain. 

Spain: Repeating their performance against Serbia without the yellow cards will likely lead to a victory for Spain in this match which is a strong base to enter on. This is one of the most talented national teams in the world and when they're allowed to control possession, they're quite tough to defeat. Without Xhaka in midfield, there aren't many players for Switzerland who can break up Spain's passing which will lead to quite an entertaining 90 minutes. 

Prediction

Spain's attack will be too much for Switzerland to contain as they'll run riot in the match to get back on the right track. Pick: Switzerland 0, Spain 3
