On November 12, Spain will visit Prague to face Czech in the fifth round of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League A group stage. Historically, Spain has almost completely dominated Czech, remaining undefeated in their last 8 encounters across all competitions with 6 wins and 2 draws.
The only moment Czech can look back fondly on is their 2-2 home draw against the Spanish in the 2022 Nations League. In October 2026, Spain had already defeated Czech 3-1 at home in the first leg, a match where Czech also received a red card.
This match marks the second leg between Spain and Czech in the Nations League group stage. Spain has won all four of their previous matches, accumulating 12 points and securing early qualification for the quarterfinals. Czech, on the other hand, has yet to earn a point after four rounds, scoring only 2 goals and conceding 10, placing them at the bottom of League A.
Notably, Czech's current head coach is Santi Denia, an Espanyol native who worked for the Spanish Football Federation for 15 years. Now, he will lead his team against his home country. Facing such a familiar opponent, it may not be easy for Spain to extend their unbeaten record.
