They were made to sweat against Croatia in the Round of 16 as their 3-1 lead was chopped down to a 3-3 draw in the dying stages, but two goals in extra time saw Spain through.
On the other hand, Switzerland did against France what Croatia could not achieve against Spain as they too forced extra time by coming back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3.
The difference is that the Swiss held firm in the added half an hour and triumphed on penalties as Yann Sommer stopped Kylian Mbappe's effort to produce the shock of the tournament so far.

Switzerland v Spain team news
Switzerland: Granit Xhaka is suspended for this clash after picking up two yellow cards already in the tournament.
His absence breaks up the midfield partnership with Remo Freuler and Petkovic will have to decide whether to replace Xhaka like-for-like or switch his formation around. Xherdan Shaqiri should start, although he may miss out to Mario Gavranovic in the XI.
Spain: Goalkeeper David De Gea will hope to be fit from injury to feature here after Unai Simon took his place for the Croatia game.
Enrique should go 4-3-3 again with Morata leading the line. Expect Sarabia and Torres to keep their places also.

Our prediction: Switzerland v Spain
Switzerland have been superb in this tournament but without the suspended Xhaka they may struggle to keep this impish Spain attack at bay. Indeed, with the likes of Torres and Pedri in the XI, Spain should create plenty of chances.
The worry for Spain, however, is their defence. The three conceded at the hands of Croatia were alarming and Enrique has struggled (bar the routine Slovakia game) to hand his players attacking freedom without sacrificing defensive solidity in the process. It caused a stalemate against Sweden in their opening tie.
Spain should pinch this game but it will likely be closer than the odds suggest. Don’t be surprised if Morata eventually takes a chance late on.
Our prediction: Switzerland 0-1 Spain (13/2 at bet365)
