Prediction before the match Netherlands vs Spain
Spain have maintained their impressive form since winning EURO 2024. La Roja finished the 2024/2025 UEFA Nations League group stage at the top of Group A4. After a win over Switzerland in Matchday 6, Spain extended their unbeaten streak to 16 matches, including 14 wins.
Coach Luis de la Fuente has won 23 matches since taking charge of Spain in December 2022, drawing 3 and losing just 2. With Spain's current form, they are the number 1 candidate to win the 2024/2025 UEFA Nations League. Spain have excelled in the group stage and will face the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.
The Netherlands are rated lower than Spain but they are still capable of causing some trouble for the European champions. Coach Koeman's team will play at home in the first leg and will need to take advantage of this. If they lose to Spain, the Netherlands will face many problems in the next away match.
The Netherlands are unbeaten at home in the 2024/2025 UEFA Nations League group stage , including a draw against Germany. However, Spain are likely to still get a favorable result or win by a minimal margin. The reason for fans of the "Bulls" to believe this is entirely based on the current form and personnel of the two teams. Considering these two factors, Spain is superior to the Netherlands.
