Spain vs Netherlands Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

La Roja and Oranje battled to a 2-2 draw in the first leg.

The Spain national football team are all set to host the Netherlands national football team in the second leg of the UEFA Nations League 2024-25 quarter-final. The first-leg confrontation between the two sides ended in a draw. It was a good performance by both sides but a mistake from the Dutch cost them a late goal by Spain.

The Spaniards will be home for the second leg which they will surely use as an advantage. They had a better attack rate than the Dutch and the majority of ball possession as well. But a mistake by Pedri helped the Netherlands score a goal. The Spain national football team will have a better chance to seal the semifinal spot in the UEFA Nations League 2024-25.
