The two big nations take centre-take in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday night ahead of FIFA World Cup.

Portugal's last four games have all ended in draws against Spain, and the country is assembling a strong squad ahead of the biggest tournament. There is now a significant difference between the Euro winner Portugal and the current Portugal team. The current one features a number of high-calibre players, and this could be Ronaldo's final World Cup, to win the most sought-after trophy of his dream.

Meanwhile, Spain has played well in recent matches, and under their new manager, they appear to be a good potential side capable of taking on any major power. This will be a tough test for Spain, who are considered favourites for the upcoming competition in November. The La Roja team should not be complacent in this game, as they are facing a quality nation, and this game will determine how far they have progressed since their Nation League final loss to France.
