Spain
- Spain have won 5, drawn 0 and lost 0 in their last 5 games.
- They have 3 points from 1 match in UEFA Nations League A, Group 3 2026.
- Luis de la Fuente's side beat England 3-2 away from home in their opening fixture and then knocked Argentina out of the FIFA World Cup in a dramatic 1-0 win after extra-time in the last 16.
- They're a possession-first football team with a real shape, they can recycle control to great effect, and there's always a player behind the ball.
Czech Republic
- Czech Republic have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 5.
- Czech Republic were beaten 1-2 in their opener in UEFA Nations League A, Group 3 2026 by Croatia and that has them sitting fourth and with 0 points on the board.
- They come into this on the back of 2 consecutive defeats.
- Santi Denia has attempted to graft his Spanish-style positional football onto the Repre, adding in his own unique pressing elements too, but the jury is still out on the impact he has had since taking over on 1 August 2026.
- Denia has Czech Republic playing patient buildup but still getting on the ball in numbers, so this should be a chess match.
- However, La Roja look more in control and the build-up to this game has been better for Spain.
Key Players
Mikel Merino is their top-scorer in that sequence (2) .
Betting Insights
- We're going to play the odds-on favourite for the win in the outright market, although the odds are a bit short for this matchup.
- Under 2.5 goals at 2.32 and BTTS No at 1.5 both suit a script where Spain are controlled but ultimately make this match their own.
Prediction
Back Spain to take the win.
