Prediction
&w=707&quality=100)
Spain and England meet at the RCDE Stadium in a crucial battle at the top of Nations League Group A3.
A victory or draw would be enough for La Roja to secure a spot in October's finals, while England will need three points to qualify.
There is an interesting sub-plot too, with Spain favourites and England next best for next month's Women's European Championship.
While La Roja got triumphed when these two met in the 2023 World Cup final, the Lionesses downed Spain 1-0 at Wembley in February and spirits in Sarina Wiegman's camp will be high after England hammered Portugal 6-0 on Friday.
Spain have been in rampant form, too. Montserrat Tome's women crushed Belgium 5-1 in Leuven last time out and that followed a 7-1 crushing of Portugal on home turf.
It is a clash between Europe's best two sides, and with England forced to chase a result, it is hard to see how this game will fail to bust the goal line.
There have been 16 goals in England's last three games, while Spain have hit the net on 16 occasions in their last trio of matches.
