Spain vs. Switzerland 2010 World Cup Predictions Group H Odds: 2010 FIFA world Cup favorite Spain will play Switzerland in Group H play Wednesday morning (10 am Eastern, American Time). Spain is listed favorite at +350 odds on the BetUS.com FIFA World Cup board to win the tournament. Switzerland, a World Cup underdog, isn't given much chance of winning the tournament at +25,000 odds (250/1).
For Wednesday's match, Spain's success has been based on quality and balance throughout the side. In captain Iker Casillas Spain have one of the world's finest keepers, a man who can be relied upon to bring his reflexes to the rescue when most needed. Midfield string-puller Xavi Hernandez's inch-perfect passing and vision is vital to the Spaniards' fluid style, while at the sharp end of the attack there can be few if any better finishers than David Villa and Fernando 'El Niño' Torres.
For Switzerland, Alexander Frei is the undisputed chief on and off the field of play. The Basel striker, who is his country's all-time record goalscorer, was Hitzfeld's natural choice as national team captain. He finished the qualifying campaign on five goals.
World Cup qualifying is so competitive that it's surprising how regularly a mediocre team like Switzerland makes it to the Big Show. Hitzfeld is a proven winner, and it's hard not to like creative winger Tranquillo Barnetta. But this is a plodding group that could run into problems against the high-powered attack of Spain.
