UEFA Nations League Final: Portugal vs Spain odds, preview and team news

Portugal take on Spain in the final of the UEFA Nations League, and you can bet on all the action at Housebets.com.

Just a week after witnessing the Champions League final, we are set for another final this weekend as Portugal take on Spain in this year’s UEFA Nations League final.

It promises to be an entertaining clash after both teams sealed thrilling wins in their semifinal games.

Portugal beat hosts, Germany, while Spain won a thriller against France. The storyline going into this game is the battle of the old guard vs the new star— Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lamine Yamal.

You can bet on all the action at Housebets as it unfolds. Spain are the favourite for the game, but do not count Portugal out.

Portugal vs Spain Preview

One of Portugal or Spain will win their second Nations League title this weekend. Portugal won the inaugural edition in 2019, while Spain are the current champions.

These two countries are familiar with each other not only because they share borders, but they also have some players who are club teammates.

As for Portugal, this is a big audition for their coach, Roberto Martinez, even though he has been in charge for over a year now.

There are speculations that Martinez will not be in charge when Portugal start their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign in September.

Not because results have been bad, but because there is this view that he is not getting the most out of a talented squad. However, Martinez has the chance to show that he is the right man for the Selecao by picking up a win against Spain.

He already gave the Portugal FA something to think about after leading the Selecao to their first win over Germany in 25 years in the semifinal.

Goals from Fabio Conceicao and Ronaldo helped Portugal come back from a goal down to beat the four-time world champions.

While he did receive criticism for his team selection, Martinez received praise for his in-game changes, which ultimately led Portugal to the win.

The Spanish tactician can now finish the job and guarantee his future by beating his birth nation in the final.

Portugal come into this game in fine form, having lost just one of their last five games and winning three in the process.

However, their recent record against La Roja is poor, failing to win any of their last five games against the defending champions.

Spain have been arguably the best team in Europe over the last 12 months. Luis de La Fuente’s men are not just the defending champions, but are also the current European champions after beating England last year.

La Roja showed why they remain the best team in Europe on Friday as they beat a talented France squad in a 5-4 thriller in Stuttgart.

However, the scoreline did not tell the full story as Spain were 5-1 up at one point before France tried to mount a miraculous comeback.

While it could be argued that France possessed the better players, Spain were the better team on Friday night.

Although Unai Simon made some decent saves, Spain’s intricate passing game was just too much for the 2018 World Champions.

La Fuente’s men come into this game in fine form. They are unbeaten in their last ten games, winning eight during this period. They are also unbeaten in their last five matches against Portugal and last ten games in the Nations League (W6, D4).

Portugal vs Spain Team News

There is this popular saying that you do not change a winning team, but Martinez will likely make at least one change to his side.

Vitinha came on in the win over Germany, but he is likely to start against Spain. The 25-year-old is coming off a superb season with Paris Saint-Germain, delivering a masterclass in the Champions League final.

With Spain likely to dominate the midfield battle, having Vitinha in the middle of the park will be key for Portugal when they have possession.

As for Spain, La Fuente will most likely stick to the same side that beat France on Friday night, meaning La Roja will once again play without a recognised striker.

That has never been a problem for Spain, though, as they have always been dangerous from the wings, thanks to their two young demons, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal.

This is an important match for Yamal, as it would help his quest to win the Ballon d’Or. The teenager already outshone his main rival, Ousmane Dembele, in the semifinal, and could now outshine a man who has won the award five times, Ronaldo.

Portugal vs Spain Betting Preview

Spain are backed to win at 1.93, while Portugal are the underdogs at 3.75, courtesy of odds provided by Housebets. La Roja are also the favourites to win the trophy at 1.47 against Portugal’s 2.55.

However, Spain and Portugal have drawn 17 of their 40 all-time meetings, including 1 of their 2 UEFA Nations League encounters.

There are always goals when these two sides meet, so you can back over 2.5 goals at 1.65
