Czechia vs Spain: team news and expert analysis
Czechia featured at both Euro 2024 and the World Cup this summer for the first time in a long while, but failed to reach the knockout stages at either tournament. They began the autumn campaign under new coach Santi Denia and have lost every match so far. A sharp improvement is their only hope of escaping last place. On the other hand, everything will be decided in the final round against Croatia.
Under Luis de la Fuente, Spain have only failed to win in the previous Nations League, losing the final to Portugal. They are champions of both Europe and the world. Their winning run continued in the autumn, starting with a 3-2 victory away to England and followed by wins over Croatia and Czechia.
Kral and company are averaging 1.1 goals scored, while conceding almost twice as many, at 2.0 per game. The champions average 2.2 goals scored and concede far fewer, just 0.6 per game.
