La Roja fell to a surprise 1-0 loss away to Ukraine in Kiev last time out, but remain a point clear atop their group with back-to-back games against the Swiss and Germans to come this month.
"We have been top of the table for almost the whole campaign and we have to make that count now," said Spain head coach Luis Enrique.
"The group is open and all four teams can finish first and go through to the finals. Two years ago we were left with the feeling that we could get through, but England got the better of us."
Switzerland have yet to register a win after four rounds of fixtures, but managed a credible 3-3 draw away to Germany in Cologne in their most recent Nations League outing.
Rossocrociati currently sit bottom of the group on two points and in real danger of suffering relegation to League B.
"At the end of this special year, we once again have the opportunity to play against top teams. It was and is our goal to stay in the UEFA Nations League," said Switzerland head coach Vladimir Petković.
"In addition, we must now win against Spain and Ukraine. This is difficult, but not impossible. We are optimistic and at the same time realistic. Against the best teams in Europe, we have to call for 120 per cent performance to win."

A solitary strike from Real Sociedad star Mikel Oyarzabal led Spain to a 1-0 victory over Switzerland in the reverse fixture hosted in Madrid last month.
