Spain To Beat Switzerland 'to nil'

Spain won six of their qualifiers 'to nil' and although you could argue Spain's defence is not the strongest, they keep possession so well that it is sometimes just impossible to score past them. Switzerland don't have the skill or the firepower to worry Spain.

David Villa To Be World Cup Top Scorer

Villa is the most lethal finisher in world football, he has 37 goals in 56 games for Spain and was also amongst the top scorers in the European qualifying section. Being Golden Boot at Euro 2008 means he is proven in big tournaments and Honduras and Switzerland will give him plenty of chances.

David Villa To Be Spain's Top Scorer

David Villa was top scorer at Euro 2008, well ahead of Torres and in qualifying he scored more than twice as many goals as the next best Spanish goalscorer. His main rival is Fernando Torres but he hasn't played since knee surgery and is likely to be rusty if fit at all.
