Czech Republic vs Spain preview: Spain aim for the group lead

In matchday five of UEFA Nations League A Group 3, Czech Republic meet Spain. The match will be played on Thursday, 12 November 2026, at Stadion Letna in Prague. Having won all four of their matches, Spain sit at the top of the group with 12 points.

Luis de la Fuente's side started the tournament with a 3-2 win over England. They then beat Croatia 4-1 and Czech Republic 3-1, and in their most recent match they again beat Croatia, 2-1. Spain have scored 12 goals in four matches and conceded three. The visitors are three points ahead of England.

It has been a difficult Nations League A campaign for Czech Republic so far. Having lost all four of their matches, they are yet to earn a point. Losing 2-1 to Croatia, 2-0 and 3-0 to England, and 3-1 to Spain, Czech Republic are at the bottom of the group. Having lost their chance of reaching the quarter-finals, the hosts aim to improve their position in the group table with results in the remaining matches.

Following the Spain match, Czech Republic will travel to Croatia on 15 November. For this reason, the match in Prague is important for the team to build morale and gain momentum before the final matchday.
