Spain enters this tournament as one of the presumptive favorites. The team finished second to France the last time the Nations League was played.
La Roja enters this match on a four-game win streak, with the team’s last loss coming to France back in October in that aforementioned Nations League final. Since then, Spain has allowed just one goal, in a 2-1 win over Albania.
Sergio Busquets was named UEFA Nations League Player of the Finals last year. The Barcelona midfielder has made 133 appearances for the Spanish national team.

Portugal won the inaugural Nations League in 2018-19, but failed to advance to the playoff last year, finishing second to France in group A3.
The team has been up and down over the last year. It suffered a surprising 1-0 loss to Belgium in the Round of 16 of Euro 2020, then won five in a row after that before losing a World Cup qualifier to Serbia. The team has won both of its matches in 2022.
Team captain Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for most caps and goals for Portugal.
Predicted Portugal starting XI: Cancelo, Pepe, Pereira, Mendes, Fernandes, Moutinho, Silva, Otávio, Ronaldo, Jota; Costa
