Portugal rose to the top of Group A2 in the UEFA Nations League with a win over Czech Republic and will be seeking just a point in their final group game against Spain to secure their place in the semis. Playing at home, Portugal will go into this game with 10 points, two ahead of Spain who are now second. A 4-0 win away to Czech Republic saw Portugal take control of the group, that being their third win in four matches. They’ve only lost once in five matches, their 1-0 defeat in Switzerland also being the only time in five that they failed to score. Three times in the last five matches, they’ve scored two or more goals. At home they have four straight wins going into this game.

Spain are coming from a shock 2-1 defeat at home to Switzerland, which saw them displaced at the top of the group. They now face the danger of missing out in the final stages of this competition. This is their first loss in nine matches and the second time in five matches that they conceded two goals in a game. They’ve scored in each of their last five matches and will be going for the same here, as this is a must-win game for them. Twice in their last five matches, they’ve drawn and twice they’ve kept clean sheets in their last three matches. Spain’s loss to Switzerland was at home; they haven’t struggled a lot away from home. They are on five unbeaten outings in their away matches, winning four of them. In each of their last five matches against Portugal, they’ve drawn.
