Spain vs Czechia Preview, prediction, team news, lineups | UEFA Nations League 2026-27
La Roja are unbeaten in their seven encounters against Repre!
Spain national football team will now lock horns with Czech Republic national football team for their third group match of the UEFA Nations League 2026-27 campaign. This clash is scheduled to take place at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere in Oviedo, Spain.
The Luis de la Fuente-led side have once again extended their winning run. They are coming in after securing a dominant 4-1 victory against Luka Modric’s Croatia. It was a top-of-the-line performance by the world champions. They took an early lead, which put a lot of pressure on their opponents.
The Spain national football team are now on a sensational run of form and will be eager to further extend their winning run. Being at home is going to be another advantage for them. La Roja will once again look to take control of the game from the start and with this star-studded lineup, it is going to be an easy task for them.
The Czechia national football team continue to put in underwhelming performances. They are coming in after facing a 0-2 loss against England in their previous UEFA Nations League 2026-27 clash. Santi Denia’s men failed to establish control of the game and were reduced to 10 men after Pavel Šulc received a red card in the 23rd minute.
The Repre are going to face the toughest competition in their upcoming clash. They have never secured a win against the Spaniards and their current run of form is going to keep them under immense pressure. Being away from home will only make things difficult for them. They must come up with a calm and composed approach, but it will still not be enough to stop La Roja.
