It has been a remarkable 12 months for Spain, and more success could be on the agenda in the Nations League this summer. The Spanish topped their Group A4 standings last year after winning five from six matches, conceding just four goals in the process.

However, the Netherlands will pose an increased threat to their unbeaten sequence this week. The Dutch have won two of their six Nations League matches, and they are unbeaten in three home matches.

The Netherlands appear to be just below the standout European nations at present, and that has been reflected in their recent defeats against Germany and England.

Therefore, we expect to see them come unstuck once again against a European heavyweight with they collide with Spain this week.
