Spain
Czech Republic host Spain in Prague on Thursday 12 November, a 7.45pm kick-off (UK time) in the Nations League, with Luis de la Fuente’s flawless group leaders chasing a fifth straight win against a Czech Republic side already staring at relegation.
Spain have won all four of their Group A3 games, topped the section and booked a Nations League quarter-final place, and they beat Czech Republic 3-1 in the reverse fixture last month. Czech Republic, under former Spain Under-21 coach Santi Denia, have lost all four and sit bottom without a point. Spain are as short as 2/9, so we have reached for value in the Czech Republic vs Spain odds, with two premium picks and a score prediction below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects Spain’s class to tell against the Group A3 whipping boys, and looks past the unbackable win price to the goals and goalscorer markets.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Ferran Torres to score anytime | 20/21 (bet365) | Spain’s forwards have run riot in this group and Ferran Torres is a reliable finisher who should get plenty of joy against a Czech Republic defence that has lost all four of its Nations League games. Near even money is a fair price for a Spain attacker to find the net against opponents short on confidence and resistance. Ferran to score anytime at 20/21 is our way into a one-sided game. |
| Czech Republic 0-3 Spain | 13/2 (bet365) | With Spain an unbackable 2/9 to win, we have reached for a scoreline that reflects their dominance and offers real value. La Roja won the reverse fixture 3-1 and have the quality to win comfortably without conceding against a Czech Republic side that has managed little at either end. At 13/2, a 3-0 away win is a tempting way to back Spain to roll on. |

How Czech Republic go into the game
Czech Republic go into this one rock bottom of Group A3 without a point, having lost all four of their Nations League games under new head coach Santi Denia. The Spaniard, a former Spain Under-21 boss and the first foreign manager in the nation’s history, now faces his home country with his side already facing a likely drop into League B.
The results have been chastening. Czech Republic opened with a 2-1 defeat to Croatia before losing 2-0 at home to England, 3-1 away to these very opponents in Spain and 3-0 at Wembley. Goals have been hard to come by for Denia’s side, who have struggled to trouble far stronger opposition and now have pride to play for in front of their own fans.
How Spain go into the game
Spain are the class of the group and arrive in Prague with a perfect record, four wins from four, top spot and a quarter-final place already secured under Luis de la Fuente. The reigning 2023 Nations League champions have scored freely throughout, and they beat Czech Republic 3-1 when the sides met in Spain last month.
Lamine Yamal has been in red-hot form, including braces against Croatia, while Mikel Merino has chipped in with goals from midfield and Ferran Torres offers a further threat up top. Rodri and Dani Olmo are sidelined through injury, and with their place in the last eight already banked, de la Fuente may freshen things up, but the depth at his disposal means Spain should still have far too much.
Czech Republic vs Spain head-to-head
Spain hold a clear edge in this fixture and head to Prague full of confidence after winning the reverse 3-1 in October. The sides also met at Euro 2016, where Spain edged a 1-0 group-stage win through a late Gerard Pique header. Spain’s strength in depth and recent dominance of European football make them heavy favourites, and with the all-time record one-sided and some older meetings hard to verify cleanly, we have kept this to prose rather than quote a disputed tally.
Czech Republic vs Spain predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spain to win | 2/9 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Spain have won all four group games and beat Czech Republic 3-1 in the reverse fixture last month. |
| Both teams to score – No | 8/11 (Betway) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Czech Republic have scored sparingly all campaign and Spain are more than capable of keeping a clean sheet. |
| Over 2.5 goals | 4/9 (bet365) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Spain’s frontline has been prolific and Czech Republic’s leaky defence should see this one hit the over. |
| Czech Republic 0-3 Spain | 13/2 (bet365) | ⭐⭐ | A repeat of Spain’s dominance, with La Roja to win comfortably and keep a clean sheet. |
Czech Republic vs Spain score prediction
There is only one likely winner here. Spain have won all four of their group games, sealed top spot and a quarter-final place, and beat Czech Republic 3-1 only last month, while Denia’s side have lost the lot and carry little threat. Even if de la Fuente rotates with qualification secured, the gulf in quality is vast, and we expect Spain to win comfortably and keep a clean sheet against opponents low on confidence in Prague. Score prediction: Czech Republic 0-3 Spain.
