Spain’s staggering 39-game unbeaten run across all competitions is just one positive result away from hitting a historic 40-match milestone, after they secured a dramatic 3-2 away comeback victory over England in their opening UEFA Nations League fixture. Manager De la Fuente has confirmed Eric Garcia has withdrawn from the squad with a knee injury, with Robin Le Normand called up as his replacement. Both Pedro Porro and Joan Garcia are also sidelined due to injuries, while Fermin Lopez has earned a recall to the matchday squad. Croatia started their Nations League group stage with a 2-1 away win against Czechia, led by their veteran core including Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic, but two first-team players Josip Juranovic and Martin Erlic will miss this tie through injury. Across their past head-to-head meetings, Spain claim a 4-win, 1-draw, 2-loss edge.

Playing on home turf, Spain will stick to their signature possession-dominant tiki-taka style that has long defined their competitive edge. Their midfield unit is packed with technically polished players, who have maintained one of the highest pass completion rates among top-tier international sides for years. They build attacks patiently from the back, use short sharp passes to work through tight spaces and exploit gaps in the opposition’s half, and seamlessly combine wide runs with central play to generate consistent threats. Multiple attacking players are capable of beating defenders one-on-one, giving them rich, varied attacking options in the final third. They also launch immediate counter-pressing to win back possession right after losing the ball.
