La Roja have been in good goalscoring form, having scored five goals or more in both their previous two Euro 2020 ties....
Switzerland's reward for spectacularly knocking out France in the last 16 of Euro 2020 is a quarterfinal clash with Spain in St Petersburg on Friday.
Vladimir Petkovic's side are clear outsiders against the European champions from 1964, 2008 and 2012, yet having prevailed against the current World Cup holders, the Swiss will fear no side in the competition.
Luis Enrique's men have been steadily improving as the competition has progressed and after stuttering to two draws in their opening two matches, Spain have netted five goals in each of their last two games.
