Bet #1: Back Spain dominance to continue

England have won just two of their last 13 games against the reigning FIFA World Cup holders, losing nine times (D2).

Spain have won six of their last nine meetings with England across all competitions (D1 L2), most recently winning 2-1 in the final of the 2024 UEFA European Championship. Their last away game vs the Three Lions also ended 2-1, at Wembley in the UEFA Nations League in September 2018.


Bet #2: Back Oyarzabal to continue goal involvement run

Only Cristiano Ronaldo (8) scored more goals in League A of the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League than Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal (4), who has 26 goals involvements across his last 25 international appearances (19 goals, 7 assists) - that run started with the winning goal against England in the 2024 UEFA EURO final.


Bet #3: Back goals galore and Bellingham to score

Spain's last five UEFA Nations League matches have seen them both score 2+ goals and concede 2+ goals; that is the longest run by any nation since the tournament's inception in 2018.

Jude Bellingham has scored seven goals in 10 appearances for England in 2026 and the last midfielder with more goals in a calendar year for the Three Lions was David Platt in 1993 (8).
