… With An Exciting Backdrop

The backdrop is exciting too. England and Spain last met in the Finals of the Euro 2024 at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, where the Three Lions went down 1-2 to La Roja in a close encounter. Nico Williams scored first for Spain in that match, with England fighting back to draw level through a brilliant strike from Cole Palmer, but Mikel Oyarzabal scored late to win it for Spain.

Can England Turn The Tide ?

Can England take revenge? The Thomas Tuchel side would be playing at home, which is an advantage, but recent records tell a different story. In ten meetings since the turn of the millennium, England’s record against Spain is W3 D1 L6. Can they redress that negative balance?

England Have Issues To Deal With

England have a few issues going into the match. Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo and Tino Livramento have withdrawn from the team. Though James Garner and Morgan Gibbs-White have been announced as replacements, the loss of Rice, Palmer and Rashford might affect Thomas Tuchel’s plans going into the match. There will be a lot of pressure on Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham to deliver. Anthony Gordon too will have a big role to play.

No Such Problems For Spain

Spain look assured on the other hand with no major issues plaguing the team which won the World Cup not so long ago. With Luis de la Fuente locked in till 2032, the Spaniard has massive backing and confidence for his decisions and tactics at Wembley.
