🔴Spain Eye Another Nations League Semifinal | Home Win = 1.71💵
Spain’s six-game winning streak was halted in the first leg, but La Roja remained unbeaten in competitive matches for nearly two years. Luis de la Fuente’s men are determined to keep their crown after lifting the 2022-23 title.
Despite defensive concerns following Pau Cubarsi’s injury, Spain will look to dominate possession and capitalize on home advantage. Their last two encounters with Netherlands ended in draws, but Spain is eager to break that trend.
🔵Netherlands Hope to Upset Holders | Away Win = 5.06💵
Netherlands impressed in the first leg, coming from behind to lead 2-1 before Jorrel Hato’s red card altered the momentum. Ronald Koeman’s side will be confident of causing an upset despite key absences.
With just one defeat in their last seven games, the Dutch will rely on their attacking firepower, led by Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo, to unsettle Spain’s defence. They seek a first win over La Roja since the 2014 World Cup.
