Spain vs Switzerland match preview
Spain are five-times winners of this competition, so will they stay on track for a record-breaking sixth title?
La Rojita cruised through the group stages, swatting aside both Romania and Croatia before earning the draw they needed with Ukraine on Tuesday to remain in first place.
Abel Ruiz equalising in final minute of normal time in București, cutting inside before finishing cooly, a goal that ensured Spain pipped Ukraine to top spot on goal difference.
As mentioned, la Rojita have great recent pedigree at the under-21 European Championships, lifting the trophy in 2011, 2013 and 2019, also beaten in the 2017 final and the semi-finals last time round.
Santi Denia’s side are amongst the favourites to go all the way at this stage, so will they avoid a shock exit in the Romanian capital?
Switzerland meanwhile only just got through the group stages on a nerve-shredding final night.
Then, on Wednesday, Patrick Rahmen’s team were demolished 4-1 by France but, thanks to the fact Norway beat Italy 1-0 on the other side of Cluj-Napoca, the trio all ended level on three points.
It went to the third tiebreaker, with the Swiss sneaking through by virtue of head-to-head goals-scored.
So, this is Switzerland’s first appearance in the knockout stages since getting all the way to the final 12 years ago, beaten 2-0 by Spain in Århus back then; Ander Herrera and Thiago Alcântara the scorers.
Those inside Stadionul Rapid-Giulești could expirence a sense of déjà vu, with Spain looking to reach Wednesday’s semi-finals, where France or Ukraine await.
Spain team news
Santi Denia rotated heavily for Tuesday’s draw with Ukraine, but all of his big guns will be back in for this one.
In goal, Julen Agirrezabala and Leo Román were given 45 minutes each in mid-week, but Arnau Tenas will return here.
Other key players who will be back, feeling refreshed, include Aitor Paredes, Juan Miranda, Sergio Gómez, Álex Baena, Oihan Sancet and Abel Ruiz, who’s the joint-top scorer at the tournament so far.
Switzerland team news
No such luxury for Patrick Rahmen, who’s strongest XI was on show against France on Wednesday.
This includes Dan Ndoye, who’s scored at two different editions of this tournament, and Zeki Amdouni, who has already netted five times in four senior appearances in 2023.
