Spain host Czech Republic on Saturday, 3 October 2026, as the Nations League reaches its third matchday, with kick-off scheduled for 18:45 GMT at the Estadio Carlos-Tartiere.
Spain have made a perfect start to their campaign, winning both of their opening matches. The 2026 world champions began with a 3-2 victory against England before beating Croatia 4-1.
Lamine Yamal has been central to Spain’s impressive attacking form, with the Roja showing considerable efficiency in front of goal. They will now look to extend that momentum against a Czech Republic side at the bottom of the group.
Czech Republic have no points from their first two fixtures. They lost 2-1 to Croatia and then suffered a 2-0 defeat by England, leaving them with back-to-back losses ahead of their visit to Spain.
Head-to-head record
Spain have dominated the fixture since the formation of the current Czech national team. Across seven previous meetings, the Spaniards remain unbeaten, recording five wins and two draws.
That record, combined with the two teams’ contrasting starts to the competition, makes Spain strong favourites at home. Africafoot’s prediction is a 3-1 victory for Spain.
The betting prices listed for the match are 1.05 for a Spain win, 7.70 for a draw and 20.00 for a Czech Republic victory.
