In one of the most highly anticipated UEFA Nations League clashes, Luis de la Fuente’s in-form Spain take on Ronald Koeman’s Dutch side for a spot in the semifinals. While Spain have been on a roll for an extended period, Oranje hold a superior head-to-head record against La Roja. Backed by their home fans, the Netherlands will look to upset the favoured Spanish setup in the first of two legs.

The last two non-friendly encounters between Spain and Netherlands came at FIFA World Cups. At the 2014 event in Brazil, the orange army handed Spain a 5-1 thrashing. Prior to this, an Andres Iniesta extra-time winner saw Spain beating the Netherlands to win the coveted trophy in 2010. With the likes of Memphis Depay and Frenkie de Jong finding lost form of late, the Nations League QF has the potential to be a match for the ages.

Will Lamine Yamal Play the UEFA Nations League QF First Leg?

Yes, Lamine Yamal is likely to feature in the UEFA Nations League encounter against the Netherlands. He is part of the magnificent amalgamation of talent that Luis de la Fuente has at his disposal – a core setup that could dominate world football for years.

Yamal joins the Spanish side after a top performance against league rivals Atletico Madrid – a match that saw him give Barcelona the lead in stoppage time. The 17-year-old prodigy has 30 G/A in 38 appearances for Barça this season, along with 5 G/A at the Euros for Spain. Unless there are any last minute concerns, he will occupy the right wing for La Roja.
