The UEFA Nations League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Serbia take on Luis de la Fuente's Spain side in a group-stage clash at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel on Tuesday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Spain vs Serbia Preview
Spain are at the top of Group 4 League A in the UEFA Nations League standings and have been in excellent form this year. The reigning European champions defeated Denmark by a narrow 1-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
Serbia, on the other hand, are in third place in their group and have not been at their best in recent months. The Serbian side defeated Switzerland by a 2-0 scoreline over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Spain vs Serbia Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Spain have a good historical record against Serbia and have one out of the two matches played between the two teams. Serbia have never defeated La Furia Roja on the international stage.
- Spain are unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions and have managed to win 11 of these games. Their previous defeat on the international stage came by a 1-0 scoreline at the hands of Colombia in a friendly in March this year.

Spain vs Serbia Prediction
Spain have transitioned into a dynamic attacking force under Luis de la Fuente but will have to do without teenage prodigy Lamine Yamal this week. With Mikel Oyarzabal and Alvaro Morata in their ranks, however, the Spaniards have plenty of firepower at their disposal.
Serbia have managed to pull themselves together in this international break but will need to be at their best against a tough Spanish team this week. Spain are the better team on paper and hold the upper hand on Tuesday.
Prediction: Spain 2-1 Serbia
