Spain vs. England Predictions

• When: Sunday, November 15, 2026, 8:45 PM CET
• Where: Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid, Spain

UEFA Nations League has another blockbuster coming our way. Spain hosts England this weekend, in what is the central event of the entire round. Luis de la Fuente’s side sit top of Group 3, aiming to lock up home advantage for the knockout stage. Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions travel to Spain looking to avenge their 3–2 defeat at Wembley in September.

Spain vs. England Preview

Spain

The Red Fury enters the final fixture of the group phase in superb form, riding an 11-game winning streak across all competitions. La Roja last lost in June 2025 to Portugal in this competition. Since then, they have won the World Cup and become one of the most dominant teams in the history of that competition.

Despite injuries to Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal, Spain’s attacking power remains superb. Alex Baena and Mikel Merino are there to cover up and take over playmaking duties behind Ferran Torres.

In 4 UEFA Nations League games played this summer, Spain recorded four wins, with a total goal difference of 12-5. All their matches have ended with both teams netting and over 2.5 goals.

England

England travel to Madrid to build momentum under Thomas Tuchel after three straight wins. This will be an important match for Thomas Tuchel, as the German manager has to show his team is equal to the World champs, and redeem for the loss at Wembley in September.

That won’t be easy, because the English side has problems in the back line. Ezri Konsa is questionable for this event, while Man City’s center-back, Marc Guehi, had to withdraw from the squad due to a hip injury.

England lost to Spain in the UNL opener, before winning three in a row against the Czech Republic twice and Croatia with a combined goal difference of 12-0. They would smash Croatia on the road, 0-7.

Spain vs England Head to Head

Spain holds the edge in recent head-to-head encounters, winning the last two. The most recent was on September 26, 2-3 at Wembley, and the one before that was at the 2024 EURO. Back then, Spain beat England 2-1 in the final to win the European title.

It is interesting that the previous 5 contests have seen both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. In each, Spain scored at least twice.

Spain vs. England Predictions

The hosts are favorites even though they don’t have Yamal. They are too big of a unit to depend on one player, even if that one is possibly the best in the world. In short, the world champs play at home, and we’ll always back them no matter the rival, which, in this case, has defensive problems.
