Spain head into Saturday’s Spain Vs Czechia meeting at Oviedo’s Estadio Carlos Tartiere with momentum, belief and a perfect Nations League record. Luis de la Fuente’s side are chasing a 10th successive win in all competitions, while also extending a run of 40 consecutive matches without defeat in 90 minutes.
That makes this their third Nations League match of the international period and another step in a campaign that has started exactly as Spain would have wanted. They have already beaten England and Croatia, which has left them top of Group 3 in League A and in full control of their own path.
Spain’s standards keep rising
The key point here is not only that Spain are winning, but that they are doing it in a way that keeps raising expectations. A perfect Nations League record, backed by a 10-match winning streak in all competitions, means every new match becomes a test of whether La Roja can keep the level as the pressure grows.
Czechia arrive with a very different picture. They have lost their first two Nations League matches, so the trip to Oviedo is already a difficult one before considering Spain’s current form. For Santi Denia, returning to his homeland for the match, the concern is understandable.
What the next week looks like
This fixture is also part of an extended three-week international period, which means both sides know there is still more work ahead. Spain play Croatia again on Tuesday, Oct. 6, while Czechia face England on the same day, so the wider Nations League picture will keep moving quickly.
For viewers, the match will be available through broadcasters including Fox Sports, ViX, fuboTV, DAZN, Sky Sports, izzi and Amazon Prime Video, depending on location in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom. But the football question remains the same wherever it is watched: can Spain keep the run going, or will Czechia disrupt a team that has barely put a foot wrong?
