With a Nations League semi-final spot hanging in the balance on Sunday night, Spain will welcome the Netherlands to Valencia.
Snatching a last-gasp equaliser earlier in the week as they eventually left De Kuip with an action-packed 2-2 stalemate, La Roja will be looking to officially punch their final four spot with a statement of intent on home soil.
Suffering late heartbreak in Rotterdam last week and missing out on the chance to claim what would have been a crucial first-leg advantage, Holland appear to have a real battle on their hands here.
In what promises to be a heavyweight Nations League showdown, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Spain vs Netherlands Bet Builder Tips.
A second chance for Spain
While some in Luis de la Fuente’s camp might have been disappointed on Thursday night as they failed to collect a heavyweight scalp at De Kuip, Spain will be excited to make a return to home soil here.
Making real history last summer as they stormed their way to a fourth European crown, La Roja have continued on a remarkable rise.
Looking to defend their maiden Nations League title in 2025, Sunday’s hosts hold a fearsome reputation from across the globe and they have not suffered a single competitive defeat across any competition since March 2023.
Drawing a line under their group stage campaign with a lively 3-2 victory against Switzerland on November 18th, the reigning European champions won all of their final five League A appearances by an aggregate score of 13-4.
On a similar note, Spain have also won their last four consecutive Nations League showdowns on home soil by an aggregate score of 9-3.

Defensive issues continue to haunt the Dutch
Suffering last-gasp heartbreak in Rotterdam earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for that 2-2 stalemate, the Netherlands will be more than aware that they have a real job on their hands here.
Although Holland might have dragged themselves to a Nations League knockout stage ticket last year, Sunday’s guests have struggled to find any real stability since their EURO 24 exit.
Crashing out at the semi-final stage over in Germany as they eventually fell to a 2-1 defeat against England, Ronald Koeman’s men have won just a pair of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.
Drawing a line under 2024 with a 1-1 stalemate against Bosnia & Herzegovina, the former Barcelona boss will have a major headache over his side’s extended defensive issues.
However, it should be noted, carrying on from their EURO 24 campaign, the Netherlands have seen six of their last eight outings finish with both teams finding the net.

Williams to spearhead La Roja’s charge
Bagging a first-leg strike at De Kuip in midweek, Nico Williams has enjoyed a real flurry since opening the New Year and is expected to play another leading role here.
Spearheading Athletic Bilbao’s Europa League charge and notching a sensational brace against Italian giants Roma on March 13th, the 22-year-old is certainly attracting plenty of major interest once again.
Despite eventually staying put in the Basque Country last summer, Williams remains heavily linked with the likes of Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
Signing off February with another domestic brace against Real Valladolid, Williams has now registered six goals in his previous seven appearances across all competitions.
Meeting a Holland squad that have registered just a sole clean sheet from their last nine consecutive outings, the Bilbao ace should be confident of extending on his flurry here.
