Switzerland enjoyed its role as the underdogs in their famous Last 16 victory over France and now the Swiss will have their sights set on another of Europe’s top sides, Spain.
Switzerland came from 3-1 down to eventually edge out the reigning world champions on penalties and will now bid for just their second-ever win over Spain.
The Spanish were given a real scare by Croatia in their Round of 16 matchup, needing extra time to make it through 5-3 in the end, and will be aiming for a far less dramatic afternoon in St. Petersburg.
These two teams have provided plenty of excitement at Euro 2020 so far and this last eight matchup promises to be no different. Goals are the basis of our same game parlay with FanDuel Sportsbook, which pays out at over 8/1.

Over 3.5 goals (+240)
Spain had been pretty solid at the back ahead of their clash with Croatia, keeping four clean sheets in their previous five matches. However, the physical approach of the Croatians and their delivery into the box caused La Roja a lot of problems with Cesar Azpilicueta looking particularly exposed at times.
Switzerland’s style of play is likely to mirror that of Croatia with Haris Seferovic and Breel Embolo both good in the air, scoring a combined three headed goals between them. They have the potential to cause Spain a few issues, although probably not enough to win the game.
At the other end of the field, the Swiss have already let in eight goals at these Championships and now they face a Spain side that has clicked up front in their last two games. Having found goals hard to come by in their first two group stage outings, the three-time European champions have scored 10 goals in their last two.
Both teams have seen four or more goals in their last two games at these Euros and can combine to go past that mark once more.

Over 7.5 corners (-260)
Switzerland’s games at Euro 2020 have featured more corners than any other nation, averaging over 11 per game so far. That has led to over 7.5 corners landing in 67 percent of their matches and this looks like a solid selection for the second leg of our parlay.
Spain doesn’t concede that many corners based on their efforts at Euro 2020 so far but Switzerland’s eagerness to get the ball in the box could force them to concede more set-piece opportunities.
Luis Enrique’s side has won at least six corners per game at Euro 2020 so far and can hold up their end of this bet.

Ferran Torres to score anytime (+185)
Head coach Enrique has a tendency to mix up his team selection so it is worth checking the starting line-up before adding this leg of the parlay. Torres should keep his place in the side having scored in his last two outings but it is one to keep an eye on.
The Manchester City forward has been in great goalscoring form for La Roja, netting seven times in his last nine appearances. He has certainly been a more reliable source of goals than Alvaro Morata, who leads the line well for Spain until he gets in front of goal. Morata has missed far too many chances at the Euros and Torres looks a far more reliable source for goals.
