The Spanish have looked great all tournament long. The No. 2 team in the world took down Portugal (No. 22), Belgium (No. 20), and Italy (No. 13), while netting 14 goals and allowing just three. Spain have not lost an international match since February, where England took them down 1-0 in the Women's UEFA Nations League, however the Spanish still topped that group.
They are ready to go.
But so is Switzerland. The hosts finished second in their group, advancing on basically the last kick of their final match. The Swiss lost to Norway (No. 16), they beat Iceland (No. 14), and then drew with Finland (No. 26), 1-1. Finland scored in the 79′ minute on a penalty, which looked like it would be enough to advance. However, Switzerland battled, scored in the 90+2′, and earned a point, which was enough to advance on goal differential.
Now they matchup with the toughest team in this tournament.
Matchup Information – Spain vs. Switzerland – July 18
Venue & Location: Stadion Wankdorf (Bern, Switzerland)
Spain have been scoring at will, they have been dominating, and now they play another team outside of the top 20 in the world. For lack of a better term, this match should be a piece of cake for Spain.
Now, with the odds listed, we've got to get creative. I'm not going to tell you to take Spain on the ML at that price, and even paying -125 for them to win by three goals is ridiculous for me. Instead, let's read between the lines and see what we can find.
So far in this tournament, Spain has only allowed five shots on target, but three of those have found the back of the net. Only two saves have been made by the Spanish keeper in this competition, but I'm not sure how tested she will be in this match.
Now, before I get into why I like my pick, let me admit that there is definitely value to be argued for Switzerland Double Chance at (+675). They may be equipped to hold on with Spain for 90 minutes, and for nearly 7-1 it might be worth the sprinkle. However, I do think Spain is ready to roll and takes them down fairly easily.
This bet is exactly what you think it is. We are betting on the corner kick spread, and we need Spain to have at least eight more corners than the Swiss. Sounds easy enough? For starters, they've covered this number in two of three matches in this competition.
They beat Portugal 10-1 on corners, took down Belgium 11-1, and went 9-5 against Italy. Sure, the Swiss defense is going to be keen on limiting their offensive opportunities, but this Spanish attack is simply too good. They've controlled over 70% of possession in each of their matches, spending plenty of time near their opponents end line.
While I do think we will need double-digit corner kicks to cover this number, Spain should be able to produce against the Swiss.
They beat Norway 7-3 on corners despite losing, dominated Iceland 6-1, and tied with Finland 4-4. Even though they haven't allowed more than four corners in a match this tournament, they also have not faced a top-10 team in the world, let alone THE top team in Europe.
Spain should dominate from start to finish, likely have a shutout win (-150), and advance to the semifinals, something they have not done since 1997. They are the favorite to win this tournament for a reason (-140), and that continues with a dominating win against the hosts this afternoon.
