Spain’s historic 39-game unbeaten run is on the cusp of hitting a new milestone, as a positive result here will extend that impressive streak to 40 matches. But the side is set to roll out a heavily rotated lineup for this upcoming fixture against Croatia, per reports from Marca. With four matches crammed into an 11-day tight window, head coach de la Fuente is poised to make sweeping changes across all three lines of the pitch. Eric Garcia has already withdrawn from the squad and returned to Barcelona after picking up left knee discomfort in pre-match warmups ahead of the England tie, which opens the door for Fresneda to earn his first senior national team cap. Grimaldo, Huijsen and Le Normand are all in the pool of players set to get runouts in the reshuffled starting XI. De la Fuente has himself confirmed the planned changes, noting he aims to inject "freshness, power and energy" across different positions while retaining the team’s core tactical structure.

Spain’s staggering 39-game unbeaten run across all competitions is just one positive result away from hitting a historic 40-match milestone, after they secured a dramatic 3-2 away comeback victory over England in their opening UEFA Nations League fixture. Manager De la Fuente has confirmed Eric Garcia has withdrawn from the squad with a knee injury, with Robin Le Normand called up as his replacement. Both Pedro Porro and Joan Garcia are also sidelined due to injuries, while Fermin Lopez has earned a recall to the matchday squad. Croatia started their Nations League group stage with a 2-1 away win against Czechia, led by their veteran core including Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic, but two first-team players Josip Juranovic and Martin Erlic will miss this tie through injury. Across their past head-to-head meetings, Spain claim a 4-win, 1-draw, 2-loss edge. Croatia have only picked up one win in their last 5 clashes against Spain, and the Spanish side have kept clean sheets to take the w

Starting with their respective opening round displays in the UEFA Nations League, we see two sides with sharply contrasting defensive track records heading into this fixture. Moldova looked completely toothless in their away loss to Slovakia, managing only a single shot on target across the full 90 minutes. Their recent form has been far from reassuring, with six of their last seven outings conceding at least two goals, and they have not kept a clean sheet across 16 consecutive competitive matches. That said, their attacking output has picked up notably lately, notching 5 goals in their last four games after managing just 4 across the prior nine. Faroe Islands, by contrast, put on a solid defensive showing in their opening 1-1 home draw with Kazakhstan, limiting their opponents to just one open-play shot inside the penalty area. Their well-drilled backline has registered four clean sheets across their last nine outings, boasting high organizational stability at the back. Moldova’s he

Finland’s attacking performance in their opening fixture was extremely impressive. Pohjanpalo notched a hat-trick while Valtanen scored two goals, with the team recording a 71% possession rate and 21 total shots across the full match. Head coach Fries prefers a 4-3-3 formation, emphasizing high front pressing and coordinated play between wide areas and central attackers. Facing midfield injury troubles that rule out Skytte and Pihtila, Valtanen, Markhiyev and Kairinen will take on far more playmaking duties. The right-back position in defense is a major variable, with Star expected to get the start. As for Belarus, head coach Goncharenko has tried out multiple formations including 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2 and 5-3-2 since he took the role, and his tactical system is not yet fully finalized. In their opening game against Albania, they conceded two goals in the first half, exposing clear defensive flaws when coping with fast transitional attacks. Away matches have long been Belarus’ biggest wea

Slovakia operates out of a sharp attacking 4-3-3 system, prioritizing tight midfield control and incisive wide penetration. Lobotka, the side’s designated midfield metronome, delivers top-tier passing quality and drives the team’s speed in offensive-defensive transitions, acting as the core of their entire game flow. Out on the flanks, Haraslin and Capralik stand out with their explosive dribbling ability, regularly creating ideal poaching opportunities for central forward Strelec inside the penalty area. The backline led by Skriniar is full of seasoned experience, and their clean sheet performance in the opening fixture shows the defensive unit’s chemistry is steadily improving. Kazakhstan also lines up in a 4-3-3 shape, but their tactical execution is far more tilted towards counter-attacking. The coaching team pointed out pre-match that unlike Moldova’s 5-3-2 defensive system, Kazakhstan will deploy three attacking players in this 4-3-3 setup. With multiple key attacking pla
