Prediction for Spain-Czech Republic
Spain have started the new Nations League campaign strongly, scoring seven goals against England and Croatia to take control of the group.
The Czech Republic have struggled at the other end of the table and now face arguably their toughest task of the campaign against the reigning world and European champions.
With Yamal in excellent form and De la Fuente able to freshen up his starting eleven with the likes of Rodri, Olmo and Williams, Spain should have too much attacking quality for their visitors.
