LiontipsNetherlands vs Spain: betting tip (cf 2.40) and bets on the Nations League match
Command Analysis
Current form
In the group stage, the Netherlands suffered only one defeat, when they lost to Germany on the road (0:1). At the same time, the Orange had only two victories – over Bosnia and Herzegovina (5:2) and Hungary (4:0). In three more cases, the team broke up with their rivals. Ronald Koeman's players left a very mixed impression of their game. Nevertheless, they managed to take second place, scoring nine points. Thus, the team made it to the playoffs of the League of Nations for the third time in its history.
Among the positive aspects of the games in the group, we note a solid game in attack, as evidenced by the 13 goals scored. In six matches, it was not possible to open only the defense of the German squad on the road (0:1). However, the defense raises many questions, since only once in the confrontation with Hungary it was possible to win back to zero. Moreover, taking into account the European championship, Ronald Koeman's team had only once prevented their opponents from hitting their own goal in the previous eight matches.
The Orange played their last match on the road against Bosnia and Herzegovina, they played the obvious favorite in that meeting, but in the end they went their separate ways with a rival inferior in class (1:1).

Current form
The Spanish national team at the start of the group stage of the League of Nations allowed itself to misfire in the confrontation with Serbia (0:0). Luis de la Fuente's team did not give gifts to their rivals further, won five matches in a row with a total score of 13:4 and confidently took the first place in the quartet, breaking away from the nearest pursuer, Denmark, by eight points.
Undoubtedly, the Spaniards are betting on achieving maximum results in the League of Nations. In the last two draws of the tournament, the team reached the finals, and in the 2022/23 season won the title.
Luis de la Fuente has set a course for rejuvenation of the team, which is bearing fruit. And it's not just about positive results, but also about a change in tactical formations, in the game model. Now we are no longer facing the same team that relied on total possession of the ball, when there was often not enough speed in the development of attacks. Red Fury is now playing bold attacking football, is not afraid to miss, and quick attacks often take opponents by surprise. So, in the last game, the Spaniards defeated Switzerland on their own field with a score of 3:2, and they scored 10 shots on goal, but the opponent also had his chances, two of which he used.

Spain, even taking into account the fact that it is playing away today, gets the status of the favorite from the bookmakers. And it is worth agreeing with this. The Red Fury went through the group round more smoothly and confidently, without outright fluctuations, and noticeably increased its attacking game, primarily due to its speed. The Orange team was too unstable in the group, they played unpredictably, it could be said that everything depended on whether the game would go in a single match or not. Due to a more balanced game, the Spaniards are now able to win and create a reserve for themselves before the return game.
Our betting tip is that Spain will win by a factor of 2.40
