Spain – Portugal : Preview & Prediction
What a clash to start the group 2 of the division A of the Nations League! This Thursday, Spain hosts Portugal for a match that should not be missed under any pretext. In the same group as the Czech Republic and Switzerland, the two nations will be the big favorites to fight for the first place and the ticket to the Final-Four. Certainly, Spain has been able to build up its confidence in recent months. Finalist of the last edition of the Nations League, La Roja has also been able to qualify serenely for the 2022 World Cup. However, it seems that Portugal can get away with at least a draw in Seville. Fernando Santos has a golden generation. However, Portugal was very afraid in the race for the 2022 World Cup. They had to go through the play-offs to secure their ticket last March. Now, the pressure is certainly off! And the Portuguese players will certainly be less tense in this Nations League. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates could already hit the jackpot by getting a result at the home of their direct competitor.
