International : UEFA Nations League A Championship Playoff - Netherlands vs Spain

Netherlands vs Spain – La Roja to Dominate in Amsterdam 

Spain in Top Form, Netherlands Struggling

Spain have been unstoppable, winning five straight matches and going 13-3-0 in their last 16. Their only loss in 25 games came in a friendly against Colombia where they fielded reserves. Luis de la Fuente’s squad is full of confidence, with young stars like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Olmo, and Valverde performing at an elite level in club football.

On the other hand, the Netherlands are out of form, winning just one of their last five games. They have struggled at home against strong teams, failing to beat France (twice), Germany, England, Italy, and Croatia in their last six home outings.

Injury Crisis for the Dutch

The Netherlands will be without key players, including:

• Dumfries (right-back threat)
• de Vrij & Ake (central defense stability)
• Schouten (midfield engine)
• Van de Ven (rising defensive star)

On top of that, Frenkie de Jong is a major doubt, and several Dutch stars—Van Dijk, Gakpo, and others—have struggled at club level recently.

Game Plan & Betting Angle

With Spain in red-hot form and the Netherlands weakened, La Roja should control this game. The Dutch will find it difficult to contain Spain’s midfield brilliance, and their lack of defensive solidity could cost them.

Spain should win comfortably, and even if they take the lead early, it could be by two or more goals.
