Spain aim to extend their winning streak: Czechia vs Spain prediction
The fifth-round UEFA Nations League clash between Czechia and Spain will take place on November 12, 2026, at epet ARENA in Prague. Spain are comfortably top of League A Group 3 with a perfect 12 points and have already secured their place in the quarter-finals. Czechia, by contrast, have lost all four matches and sit bottom of the table, with only a slim chance of avoiding relegation to the second tier.
Czechia: losing streak leaves the team on the brink of relegation
Czechia are enduring a miserable Nations League campaign. Santi Denia's side have suffered successive defeats to Croatia (1-2), England (0-2), Spain (1-3) and England again (0-3). The team have lost six of their last seven matches across all competitions, with their most recent victory coming back in June in a friendly against Guatemala.
The hosts have been hit by selection problems ahead of their clash with the group leaders. Midfielder Michal Sadílek is suspended, but defender Ladislav Krejčí returns after serving his ban. Tomáš Souček will shoulder much of the burden in midfield, while Adam Hložek, who has scored five goals in 50 appearances for the national team, is their main attacking hope.
Spain: world champions continue to dominate
Spain have shown remarkable consistency since their triumph at the 2026 World Cup. Luis de la Fuente's side have won all four of their Nations League matches, beating England (3-2), Croatia (4-1), Czechia (3-1) and Croatia again (2-1). Spain have scored 12 goals in that run and have all but secured top spot in the group.
La Roja's winning streak across all competitions has reached 11 matches, and they have not lost in normal time since March 2024. Spain will be without the injured Lamine Yamal and the ill Mikel Oyarzabal in Prague. However, with Pedri, Fabián Ruiz, Nico Williams and Ferran Torres available, the visitors can expect to pose a constant threat going forward.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Spain have won all four matches in this Nations League campaign, scoring 12 goals and conceding five
- Czechia have lost six of their last seven matches across all competitions
- Spain have never lost to Czechia in their eight previous meetings, recording six wins and two draws
The favourites can win comfortably: Czechia vs Spain prediction
Spain are clearly superior in current form and quality of play. Despite Yamal's absence, De la Fuente's side have enough depth to control the match and create dangerous chances on a regular basis.
Czechia are struggling badly in defence and have yet to pick up a point. The hosts will try to put up a fight, but Spain's consistency and individual quality should prove decisive.
