Football prediction Switzerland vs Spain

The first match of the 2023 Women's World Cup Round of 16 is the clash between Switzerland and Spain. This is an interesting match between a team with a strong attack and an opponent that relies heavily on a solid defense.

The Swiss women's team topped Group A. This was a surprising achievement because it was a group with the presence of Norway - former world champions.

Coach Inka Grings and her team only scored two goals in the group stage - both coming in the match against the Philippines. Switzerland qualified for the next round after drawing goalless with New Zealand and Norway.

The defense is the strength of the Swiss women's team. Coach Inka Grings has created a highly disciplined team, like a solid block of concrete. It is very difficult for opponents to find a gap to penetrate and approach the team's goal.

Spain's bid for the 2023 Women's World Cup is in question

Meanwhile, Spain was the team that controlled the ball the most, created the most chances and had the most shots in the group stage. Even in the loss to Japan, Spain dominated despite fielding only a reserve team and only lost because the opponent counterattacked too well.

However, this team also revealed obvious problems in the 3 group stage matches, even when they won big against Costa Rica, Zambia or lost to Japan.

The Spanish women’s team has been very ineffective. Their ability to control, pressure opponents and create chances has not been matched by the number of goals and shots on target. The fact that key striker Jennifer Hermoso and star Alexia Putellas have not been at their best is also one of the reasons.

On the other hand, the 0-4 loss to Japan showed that the Spanish women's team is not good at defending against counterattacks. They need to be really careful, winning in extra time is not a bad result, as long as they actually qualify for the next round.
