Spain is set to play Portugal at the Estadio Benito Villamarín on Thursday in the UEFA Nations League.

Spain comes into this game on the back of a 5-0 win over Arnar Vioarsson's Iceland in their most recent game. Braces from Juventus striker Alvaro Morata and Sporting CP attacker Pablo Sarabia and a goal from Villarreal winger Yeremi Pino secured the win for Luis Enrique's Spain.

Portugal, on the other hand, beat Blagoja Milevski's North Macedonia 2-0 in their most recent fixture. A brace from Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes sealed the deal for Fernando Santos' Portugal.

Spain holds a clear advantage in 38 head to head encounters having won 17 games, drawing six and losing 15.

Both teams to score is tipped at 1.83 for this fixture.

On the flip side, the Czech Republic will host Switzerland for their group opener of the UEFA Nations League at the Sinobo Stadium on Thursday.

The home team finished top of their group in the last edition after picking up 12 points from six games and are now set to contest in League A for the first time.

Like their hosts, Switzerland made it to the semifinals of Euro 2020 before losing on penalties to Spain. They secured automatic qualification to the World Cup after a strong qualifying run and will now be looking to gear up for that over the next two weeks.

In five meetings, the Czech Republic won three games while Switzerland won two.

Both teams to score is also tipped at 1.83 odds for this fixture.
