UEFA Nations League explained

The big clash for the neutrals on Tuesday night sees Spain host Germany in the Nations League.

At the weekend, Jogi Low’s team beat Ukraine 3-1 while Spain drew 1-1 with Switzerland, leaving Germany top of the group by a point heading into this final game.

When the two nations clashed in September, the match ended in a 1-1 draw after Jose Gaya scored a last-minute equaliser, following Timo Werner’s opener.

Germany must simply avoid defeat to top the group and book their place in the Nations League finals.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Odds

Prediction

Neither nation are at their best right now but still have the attacking power to beat the other. Spain should dominate play, but Germany have the greater counter-attacking threat and a draw is enough for them. Spain 1-1 Germany
