Spain aim to exorcise Swiss Nations League nightmare with Williams at right-back

La Roja were stunned 2-1 in Zaragoza last year but will be confident ahead of Saturday's rematch in Geneva

Spain will be looking to exorcise the ghost of their Nations League nightmare when they face Switzerland in Geneva on Saturday. La Roja were stunned 2-1 in Zaragoza last year, with a late Haris Seferovic goal condemning them to defeat.

However, Luis Enrique's side will be confident of avenging that defeat, having won their last three matches in all competitions. They will also be boosted by the return of Aymeric Laporte, who missed the reverse fixture through injury.

One of the most interesting aspects of the match will be the battle between Spain's right-back, Nico Williams, and Switzerland's left-winger, Xherdan Shaqiri. Williams has been in excellent form for Athletic Bilbao this season, and he will be keen to prove that he can be a valuable asset for Spain.

Spain will be looking to control the tempo of the game and dictate the terms of engagement

Spain will be looking to control the tempo of the game and dictate the terms of engagement against Switzerland. They will be confident in their ability to keep possession and create chances, and they will be hoping to make the most of their technical superiority.

Switzerland, on the other hand, will be looking to frustrate Spain and hit them on the counter-attack. They will be hoping to exploit the space behind Spain's defence, and they will be looking to Shaqiri to provide the creative spark.

The match is likely to be a close and competitive affair, with both sides having their own strengths and weaknesses. However, Spain will be the slight favourites, and they will be hoping to take a big step towards qualifying for the Nations League finals with a win.
