Czechia vs. Spain Pick, Best Bet
This Spanish defense has been rock solid all year and I’m backing them to win this game without conceding to the Czech’s. Their expertise at the back was one of the main factors in their World Cup victory, and now they will hope that form continues in the Nations League on Thursday. Spain only conceded once in their eight World Cup matches; it was their 2-1 quarter-final win over Belgium. In the other seven games, the Spaniards held firm at the back.
In the Nations League, they have a perfect record through four games. There has been a small step back defensively, conceding five times already, but this is a tough group with England and Croatia alongside these two countries. Despite that, they have a 4-0-0 record and have scored 12 times. Their last competitive defeat was the Nations League final in 2025 where they lost to Portugal in a penalty shootout. Spain are on a roll right now in every competition, and I expect them to continue their form over this international break.
The Czechs have lost all four of their Nations League campaign games, including a prior 3-1 loss to Spain, and I don’t see this one going any different. Czechia have only scored two goals in their four matches.
Spain’s stars will do enough to get a comfortable win here and keep chances few and far between for the home country.
