Spain vs Netherlands Preview and Team News

Spain Team News

Spain take on the Netherlands in the second leg of their UEFA Nations League A quarterfinal at the Estadio de Mestalla in Valencia on Sunday. 

The first match between these two teams was played on Thursday evening and ended in a 2-2 draw. Nico Williams opened the score, after which the Netherlands made a comeback with goals from Gakpo and Reijnders. However, in the 93rd minute, Mikel Merino scored the equaliser for Spain. 

The home team like to play short passes that do not usually involve crosses from their fullbacks. However, Spain are also known to quickly change their tactics to involve their wingers, who get inverted in such a manner that their fullbacks can make runs into the final third. 

This, in turn, helps them send crosses into the box when needed and also bomb forward to help their more attack-minded colleagues. 

While they do not like to play long balls as a rule, Spain can bend their tactics when they feel that they are falling behind the game and need some reassurance. Marc Casado is one of the players who has been ruled out of this game for Spain.

Spain predicted lineup vs Netherlands (4-3-3): Simon; Porro, Cubarsi, Le Normand, Cucurella; Ruiz, Zubimendi, Pedri; Yamal, Morata, N. Williams.

Netherlands Team News

The Netherlands, one of the biggest teams in Europe, will face a tough ask when coming up against Spain in this game. In the first leg, defender Jorrel Hato was sent off with a red card and will be suspended for this match. Jurriën Timber got sick after the game and will be replaced by Ian Maatsen, who was called up by Koeman on Friday. 

However, Holland know that they can make do with the others in their ranks and focus more on building play through straight channels. 

Nonetheless, if they see Spain blocking their efforts from straight channels, the visiting side will have to attack through the wings. 

Currently, the Netherlands have been unbeaten in four out of their last five matches which seems to be in stark contrast to Spain, who are currently on a run of sixteen unbeaten games. 

The Dutch are also known for the flair they bring to the football pitch, and it will be expected in large quantities in this game against Spain.

Netherlands predicted lineup vs Spain (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Geertruida, Van Hecke, Van Dijk, Baas; Reijnders, De Jong, Frimpong; Kluivert, Gakpo, Depay.

Spain vs Netherlands Prediction

  • Pick: Spain to win or draw
  • Odds: -345 (20Bet)
  • Score prediction: Spain 1-1 Netherlands

Spain have an advantage over the Netherlands in this game, and we expect them to win or draw this game. 

The home team have a lot of top-class attackers in their ranks, and it will be interesting to see how they are contained by the Dutch defenders led by Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk. 

The visiting side also have Manchester United’s Matthijs de Ligt in their ranks as a central defender.

It will not be easy for the Netherlands to keep a tab on or close eyes on the Spanish attackers, especially Barcelona’s Yamine Lamal, but it will be an interesting event nonetheless.

Spain vs Netherlands Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Both teams to score
  • Odds: -127 (20Bet)

Both these teams have a lot of top attackers in their ranks who like to play through the lines, and this suggests to us that they will get on the scoresheet. Hence, our tip is that we will see both teams scoring (BTTS) in this game. 

Spain like to use a lot of short passes while the Netherlands rely almost exclusively on long balls and crosses whenever they feel danger. Hence, the contrasting styles exhibited by the two teams here is bound to result in goals being scored.
