Friday Football Tips: Spain pain for Swiss star Elvedi

Switzerland v Spain

Ferran Torres has scored two goals in his last one and a bit games and looks a danger in what now looks a free-scoring Spain side.

They've bagged five against both Slovakia and Croatia in their last two matches (admittedly the latter lasted 120 minutes) and here they face a Switzerland team who conceded three against France in the last 16 and also three against Italy in the group stage.

Torres' Euro 2020 efforts mean he has now netted eight goals in 13 competitive appearances for his country. The 21-year-old, who never let Manchester City down when he played this season, can add to his tally here.

Torres' fellow forward Alvaro Morata has caused all sort of problems in the past couple of matches and he'll help keep the Swiss defence busy in this one.

Nico Elvedi, a member of the Swiss back three, is a player who could come under pressure and may well find his way into referee Michael Oliver's notebook.

He's been carded in four of his last 12 matches for his country, including against France and, significantly, against Spain in the Nations League earlier this season. He actually picked up two cards that day, being sent off late on.

Oliver, who has shown at least four cards in 19 of his last 24 UEFA club appointments, may struggle to keep his cards in his pocket given the Swiss has conceded the most fouls and have collected the more cards of the eight teams remaining in the tournament.

In addition, Spain are the most fouled team of those left.

With so much at stake, we've seen the card count rise during the knockout stage and so this looks a decent play.
