Spain vs Netherlands Prediction & Betting Tips (23 March)

Back in the foreground following the arrival on the bench of Luis de la Fuente, Spain today appears to be the best team of the old continent. Worn by a superb generation, the Roja first won the League of Nations in 2023 before triumphing at Euro 2024 last summer. In this edition of the League of Nations, the teammates of Captain Alvaro Morata have perfectly negotiated the group stage by winning, with a report of 5 victories and 1 draw, 1st place in group 4 in front of Denmark, Serbia and Switzerland. Last Thursday, they were tossed in the Netherlands but managed to bring back a good draw thanks to an equalizing goal in additional time 2-2. Spain has therefore retained its invincibility which has lasted since March 2024 14 victories and 3 draws.  The Netherlands did not go far from a big performance in the first leg but a goal collected at the very end of the match placed in a difficult situation this Sunday 2-2.

We will have to resist the Iberian furia in Mestalla and the task promises to be delicate with regard to the dispositions displayed by Spain. To rise to the quarter-final of this Nations League, the Netherlands had to work to finish in 2nd place in their group, before Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina but behind Germany. During Euro 2024 , the Oranje produced a particularly slow group stage. Thereafter, they raised their level of play, which allowed them to rise to the semi-finals before falling against England. 

For Spain, the Ballon d'Or Rodri (Manchester City, 57 Sél) is obviously absent, he who treats a serious injury that occurred last September. We can also highlight the plans of defenders Carvajal (Real Madrid, 51 Sél), Vivian (Bilbao, 8 Sél), Pau Torres (Aston Villa, 24 Sél) and Inigo Martinez (Barcelona, ​​21 Sél), from Casado (Barcelona, ​​2 Sél) and the winger Zaragoza (Osasuna, 3 Sél). In addition, we can point out the non -convocations of Laporte , Baldé, Gavi, Lopez, Barrios or Asencio. Touched during the first leg, defender Cubarsi (Barcelona) left the selection on Friday to return to his club to perform more in -depth tests. The winger Nico Williams (Bilbao, 5 goals in 25 Sél) was the most prominent Roja element last Thursday. He should start again alongside Captain Morata (Galatasaray, 37 goals in 85 Sél) and the Yamal phenomenon (Barcelona, ​​3 goals in 18 Sél). In the midfield, Pedri (Barcelona, ​​31 Sél) and Fabian Ruiz (PSG, 36 Sél) are essential.

On the side of the Netherlands, the Startery Dumfries (Inter) and the Middle Gravenberch (Liverpool), injured. In addition, the defenders of Vrij (Inter) and Rensch (Roma), the Schouten (PSV) and Quinten Timber (Feyenoord) and the striker Weghorst (Ajax) were also forced to declare for this rally. Expelled on the outward journey, the young left side Hato (19, Ajax, 6 Sél) is suspended this weekend. The two scorers last Thursday, the Reijnders executives (AC Milan, 4 goals in 21 Sél) and Gakpo (Liverpool, 15 goals in 37 sel) should obviously start. This is also the case for Tauliers Van Dijk (Liverpool, 79 Sél), Jong (Barcelona, ​​56 Sél) and Depay (Corinthians, 46 goals in 99 Sél). The versatile Frimpong (Leverkusen, 11 Sél) could still take place in the offensive trio this Sunday.
