Spain host England at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid on Sunday with the League A Group 3 title in sight. Spain sit top on 15 points from five matches, unbeaten and with a 14-5 goal record. England sit second on 12 points after four wins and one defeat, and they have scored 16 times. The last meeting ended 3-2 to Spain in the group stage, and the two sides also met in the Euro 2024 final, which Spain won 2-1. Spain have won the last two meetings, so England arrive with a point to prove.
Key Players to Watch
Alejandro Baena has been Spain’s most productive attacker in the recent sample, scoring once from four shots and creating chances from the left side. He will drift between the lines and force England’s midfield to track him. Harry Kane is England’s focal point, with one goal and two shots in the latest data. Kane drops deep to link play, so Spain’s centre-backs must decide whether to follow him or hold their line.
Hot Stat
Spain recorded 22 total shots across their latest five matches, the highest figure in this fixture pair. England managed 15 in the same sample. That volume gives Spain the stronger attacking profile heading into a game where they are the favourite.

Spain vs England prediction
We predict Spain to win and to win by two or more goals. Spain hold a 55% bookmaker probability, and their moneyline price of 1.70 leaves little value on a straight win. A handicap-style angle on the margin gives better return. Spain have scored at least twice in four of their last five matches, and their 22 shots in that sample show they create repeatedly. England carry a clear counter threat through Kane and Morgan Rogers, so we expect a goal from the visitors, which points toward a two-sided contest rather than a one-sided rout.
Spain’s style leans on possession and clean passing. Their 704 passes in the latest sample outnumber England’s 557, and they committed only 6 fouls to England’s 9. Spain’s discipline keeps them in control, with just two yellow cards across five games against zero for England. England press in short bursts and rely on quick transitions, which means they will commit more fouls to break Spain’s rhythm. Spain’s control should keep the match open enough for goals at both ends while limiting the total number of set-piece restarts.

Team Analysis
Spain have won 14 of 17 matches this year and collected five wins from five group games. Their most recent match was a 2-0 win over Czech Republic, which kept the group lead intact. The win came with a clean sheet, and the forwards looked sharp in the final third. Spain have won every game in their last run of results apart from two losses earlier in the period, so the current form points upward. Spain’s 2-1 win over Croatia and 4-1 win over Croatia earlier in the group show their attacking consistency.
In our preview of Czech Republic vs Spain we called Spain to win with goals at both ends, and the 2-0 result delivered the win while the two-sided goal scoring did not follow.
England have won 11 of 16 matches this year, and their latest result was a 2-1 win over Croatia. The match ended with England controlling possession but needing a late push to secure the points. England have lost once in the group and scored 16 goals, so their attack remains productive even with the occasional uneven spell. Their trip to Madrid comes after a run of wins that started strongly, but the pressure of facing the group leaders adds a different test.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Spain the favourite
- Moneyline Spain 1.70 | England 4.20
- Draw 4.00
Spain’s 1.70 price implies a probability near 59%, which sits close to the bookmaker expectation of 55%. The draw at 4.00 offers little value given the attacking profiles on both sides. England’s 4.20 price looks fair for a side with Kane and a strong counter, but their recent defeat to Spain keeps them at a disadvantage in the market.
Possible Starting Lineups
Spain possible starting eleven
- GK: Unai Simon
- DF: Marc Pubill, Pau Cubarsí, Dean Huijsen, Marc Cucurella
- MF: Martín Zubimendi, Fabián Ruiz, Fermín López, Alejandro Baena Rodríguez
- FW: Ferrán Torres, Yeremy Pino
We expect Luis de la Fuente to line up in a 4-2-3-1. Zubimendi and Fabián Ruiz form the double pivot, with Baena and Fermín López working between the lines. Ferrán Torres leads the line, and Pino offers width. Cubarsí and Huijsen have played every minute of the sample, so the central pairing should start.
England possible starting eleven
- GK: Jordan Pickford
- DF: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarell Quansah, Dan Burn, Lewis Hall
- MF: Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Elliot Anderson
- FW: Harry Kane, Morgan Rogers, Anthony Gordon
Thomas Tuchel is likely to field a 4-2-3-1 with Rice and Bellingham in the pivot and Anderson in the attacking band. Kane leads the line, with Rogers and Gordon providing pace on the flanks. Bellingham has the highest involvement in the sample, so his link play will define England’s build-up.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Spain 2-1 England. Spain’s unbeaten group run, 14 wins this year and superior shot volume make them the sounder pick. England’s pace and Kane’s movement keep the score competitive, and to be honest, a 2-1 finish feels more likely than a heavy margin. Spain to win and both teams to score remains the core angle for this fixture.
