Spain vs Switzerland World Cup betting

Spain should be well suited by playing European opposition in this match as Switzerland are likely to have some attacking intent in order to try and qualify for the Second Round. This will play into Spain's hands and they should be able to win this match pretty comfortably, and by a fairly wide margin. The good news is that the bookies seem to be giving Switzerland half a chance in World Cup Group H but Switzerland are likely to be majorly overrated.

Switzerland won their World Cup qualifying group which could be why the bookies seem to be giving them a bit of credit but with Latvia and Israel getting within four and five points of Switzerland respectively, it is probably not best to take that group win literally as they were drawn in what was probably the weakest of the European qualifying groups. Switzerland massively underperformed on home soil at Euro 2008 and it is likely to be the same case here, they may be lucky to get away from the group match agsint Spain without an embarrassing scoreline.

Spain v Switzerland odds and tips

Spain are fair odds to win the match and should be backed either as a single or in an accumulator with other sides that are similar prices and have a similar chance of victory. The Spain v Switzerland game could be high scoring but Switzerland are unlikely to have enough to trouble the Spain defence so all the goals are likely to go to the Spanish. This means the sorts of bets that should be considered include over 2.5 goals and also Spain to win the match with a clean sheet. An easy win for Spain should also make Spain a good bet in the handicap markets, Spain -1 is certainly aqa very good bet whilst the more risk happy punters should also be backing Spain -2 at a very nice price.

As far as correct scores go in Spain v Switzerland we like the look of Spain 3-0 and Spain 4-0, which are both more than fair odds, we would give slight preference to the 3-0 scoreline although backing both of them is not a bad idea. As far as goalscorers go in this match, as usual we will be going for David Villa to score first and at anytime, his transfer to Barcelona helps prove he is the best in the business and his goals at the World Cup 2010 should do the rest, his first goalscorer odds and anytime goalscorer odds both look worth taking.

Spain v Switzerland best bets

We are going with David Villa first goalscorer as the best bet in Spain v Switzerland. With Switzerland not looking likely to score it should just be a case of working out the most likely scorer for Spain and Villa's international goalscoring record is second to none so looking no further than the Spain's main goal threat is all that is required, Villa is a confident tip to open the scoring against Switzerland.

Spain v Switzerland Next Best Bet

We like both 3-0 and 4-0 scorelines to Spain which meant that Spain -2 made masses of a appeal, however with such good handicap odds available on Spain -1 it seemed unnecessary to take more risk than the -1 goal handicap. This bet should be one of the more comfortable winners at the World Cup 2010 with Spain probably only needing to score twice to make it a winning bet..
