Spain vs England: team news and expert analysis
Spain slipped up in the previous edition of the tournament, failing to retain the title after losing to Portugal in the final. However, after a successful Euro 2024, they went on to win the World Cup. They kept up the pace in the autumn, continuing their winning run.
England reached the World Cup semi-finals, where they put in a lacklustre performance and lost to Argentina, but then beat France in the third-place match. They also began their Nations League campaign with a defeat—a dramatic one—against their current opponents. But they went on to beat the Czechs twice and scored seven unanswered goals in Croatia.
The champions faced the Czechs in the previous round and secured a comfortable 2-0 win over the bottom side. England took on Croatia. The Croatians drew level, but England eventually edged them out 2-1.
