Team Preview, Form, and Standout Players

Since their Euro’s win in the summer, Spain have been phenomenal as their new ‘Golden Generation’ continues to kick on. Unbeaten since March 2024, Spain have also won four out of their last five games at home.

Their opponents, France, have been relatively inconsistent in the Nations League, recording shock draws and defeats against teams such as Israel and Croatia. However, the last time out was a 2-0 victory over Croatia.

Kylian Mbappe will be one to watch in this fixture, the striker having scored 31 goals in 34 La Liga appearances this season. Mbappe comes into the fixture on brilliant form, with nine goals scored in his last five matches.

In attack, Mikel Oyarzabal is the team’s goal-scorer, having scored a brace in his previous cap. Comparatively at the back, 20-year-old sensation, Dean Huijsen, could be set to make his third cap.
