Kick-off in Italy, Germany, France and Spain is at 21:00 CESTy en el Reino Unido en 20:00 BST. This clash of Iberian heavyweights could decide who lifts the prestigious Nations League trophy.
Both sides come into this fixture in scintillating form, having topped their respective groups before progressing through tense knockout rounds. With Spain edging past France 5-4 in a sensational semi-final and Portugal overcoming Germany 2-1, expectations are sky-high for another thrilling encounter.
¿Cómo llegan ambos equipos?
Portugal have been extremely consistent throughout the tournament, finishing second in Group A with 14 puntos from six matches. Under Roberto Martínez’s guidance, they combined defensive solidity (just five goals conceded) with attacking flair (13 goals scored). At home, they boast a perfect record of three wins in three, and their confidence received a boost after a gritty 2-1 victory over Germany in the semis.
Spain, meanwhile, have led the way in Group A with an impressive 16 points. Luis de la Fuente’s side have scored 13 goals and conceded only four, demonstrating both creativity and resilience. Their 5-4 semi-final win over France showcased their ability to thrive in high-pressure, end-to-end encounters. La Roja’s tactical flexibility and squad depth have been crucial factors in their unbeaten run.
Nuestras previsiones
Given the narrow margins in recent Portugal vs Spain meetings (four draws and a single 1-0 Spanish win in the last five), we expect another tight contest. A draw appears the most likely outcome, especially with both teams’ defences well-drilled and aware of each other’s strengths. However, neither side shies away from attacking football.
With an average of nearly three goals per game in their head-to-head clashes and both squads boasting potent forward lines, we also anticipate goals at both ends. The “Both Teams to Score” and “Over 2.5 Goals” markets offer strong value alongside the forecasted draw result.
