Spain Host Croatia Tonight in Seville
Spain host Croatia in Seville for Matchday 2 of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League Group A3. Both teams enter the fixture at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán following victories in their opening group matches.
The World Champs Are Overwhelming Favourites…
Spain, without an iota of doubt, are the overwhelming favourites to win the tie and extend their 39-match undefeated streak. The fixture marks La Roja’s return to Sevilla FC’s home ground, where the national team holds a long-standing unbeaten record.

…But The Croats Are A Tough Side
The odds are totally against Croatia, and the Luka Modric-led side will have to play out of their skin to hold a rampant Spain. However, the Croats are as tough as nails and are known for their doggedness. They will not be easy for Spain, even in Seville.
Davor Suker’s Warning…
Davor Suker, the greatest striker from Croatia, has already issued a warning to the World Champions. The former Sevilla and Real Madrid striker insisted that Spain could slip if they underestimated Croatia’s fighting spirit. A complacent Spain, he said, might ruin their chances against Croatia.

… And A Luka Modric Threat
Suker also heaped praise on Luka Modric, who became Croatia’s oldest goal scorer at 41 years, when the legend scored in Croatia’s crucial 2-1 win over Czechia in Prague on Match day 1 of the Nations League.
Spain Still Hold Plenty of Edge
Spain, however, beat England at Wembley and have beaten Croatia in their last three encounters. But the Vatreni are a tough defensive team, and it will be interesting to see how the belligerent Spanish forwards fare against Croatia’s deep defence.
