Wednesday, June 16th 2010
Kick Off : 15:00 BST
Venue : Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban – South Africa

The last game of the first round of the World Cup and the closing fixture of the tournament’s Group H will take place at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Wednesday, 16 June 2010, kick-off set for 3:00 PM. Spain and Switzerland are the last two teams to get their World Cup show on the road. Having watched the quality of matches that have been played before them, the Spaniards must be all but licking their chops in anticipation at the prospect of unleashing their attacking power in South Africa. David Villa is nicknamed ‘El Guaje’ and Fernando Torres has long been known as ‘El Nino’ (both mean ‘the kid’) but there is nothing innocent or green about the Spanish strikers on the international scene.

Vicente Del Bosque’s side can quite rightly complain that they enter the World Cup ranked only second in the world and as the second favourites to win the tournament behind Dunga’s Brazil. After all, the numbers tell that they have won 45 of their last 48 matches and are the reigning European champions. They have played more World Cup matches than any other nation without winning the trophy. They will probably never get a better chance to win the trophy than this one.
Spain striker Fernando Torres is likely to start off the bench as he is almost fit after a knee injury. Andres Iniesta is winning his fitness contest and might play instead of Fabregas.

Switzerland will be missing captain Alex Frei, who has an ankle injury, Eren Derdiyok will take his place in attack. West Ham midfielder Valon Behrami has also been ruled out.

The Swiss side are lead by legendary German manager Ottmar Hitzfeld and they will be quietly confident that his toughness and experience can guide them into second place in Group H. Remarkably, they were knocked out of the last World Cup in a penalty shootout at the second-round stage without conceding a single goal in the tournament. Given the quality of their adversary on Wednesday, they would be absolutely delighted if they could last a full 90 minutes without a goal scored against them.

Interestingly enough Spain and Switzerland have met 18 times in international football contests. Spain have won 15 of those fixtures, Switzerland none and there have been three draws. This match will also feature two of the just five coaches to have won the Champions League two times, Switzerland’s Ottmar Hitzfeld and Spain’s Vicente Del Bosque.

My prediction: 1-1
