Spain’s Nations League campaign resumes in Oviedo on Saturday, 3 October, with the group leaders seeking to extend a flawless start against the Czech Republic at the Carlos Tartiere.
Key takeaways
- Spain have won both of their opening Group C matches in the 2026/27 Nations League.
- Lamine Yamal scored twice in a 4-1 victory over Croatia, with Marc Pubill and Nico Williams also on target.
- The Czech Republic are Spain’s final first-half opponent in the group schedule.
- Kick-off at the Carlos Tartiere is set for 20:45, with La 1 and RTVE Play showing the match.
- Spain have beaten the Czechs in each of their four previous home meetings.
Spain carry momentum into Oviedo
Luis de la Fuente’s side moved clear at the top of Group C after overcoming Croatia 4-1 in their second fixture. Yamal supplied the headline contribution with a brace, while Pubill and Nico Williams completed a convincing result against stubborn opposition.
The enlarged international window means Spain will play four Nations League matches rather than the more usual two. Saturday’s meeting with the Czech Republic comes before the opening half of the group phase is complete and represents Spain’s last remaining opponent in that initial circuit.
It will be Spain’s second home fixture of this Nations League group stage. The Carlos Tartiere in Oviedo hosts a side that has made a perfect beginning and now holds sole possession of first place.
A strong home record against the Czech Republic
Past meetings on Spanish soil point firmly towards the hosts. Spain have faced the Czech Republic four times at home and won every one of those matches.
The most recent home encounter arrived in Málaga during the 2022 Nations League, when Spain claimed a 2-0 win. Another victory in Oviedo would preserve the leaders’ 100 per cent record and strengthen their position before the group campaign moves on.
