The 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship quarter-finals continue on Saturday evening as Spain takes on Switzerland at the Superbet Arena-Giulești.

Big favourites to make it into the semi-finals, Spain U21´s come into this quarter-final showdown unbeaten in each of their last 17 matches over the past two years. Contrastingly, the Swiss somehow emerged into the knockout phase despite losing two of their three group games while leaking eight goals in the process.

Spain U21 vs Switzerland U21 Betting Tips: Spain to win

Despite suffering high-scoring losses against both Italy (2:3) and France (1:4), The Swiss now find themselves in the quarter-finals, having squeezed into the knockout phase thanks to a come-from-behind victory to overcome  Norway 2-1 on the opening day 

Now following back-to-back losses, Patrick Rahmen’s men face another seriously stiff challenge with Spain unbeaten in over two years. In addition, La Roja have a tremendous record in this competition, having lifted the title in 2011, 2013 and 2019. In fact, the Spaniards have made it to the semi-final stage in each of their last five appearances at this tournament, and it’s hard to see that outcome not being repeated once more this weekend. 

Switzerland have already shipped eight goals at the tournament so far &— the most out of all 16 teams to make it to the finals -and with Spain in such red-hot form, we expect the tournament favourites to continue their progress to the semi-finals in a likely entertaining contest at the Superbet Arena-GiuleÈ™ti.

Taking a look at the h2h record offers little expectation for the Swiss with Spain winning all five previous meetings, including a 3:2 triumph earlier this year. 

With confidence peaking in the La Roja camp, we´re backing Santi´s men to claim the Swiss scalp and book their place in the semi-final stages in what could prove a high-scoring quarter-final occasion in beautiful Bucharest.
