We are on the final stretch before the 2022 FIFA World Cup and this year, due to the tournament taking place in winter, the preparation is going to be a little different for the 32 clubs involved. Next up amidst this chaotic schedule will be the final round of Nations League games as former rivals Portugal and Spain face off in hopes of a brilliant few months ahead. p> Portugal
Portugal are ready for a real rotation of talent and at the moment they have a great mix between their veteran stars and the youngsters just waiting to step up to the next level. They had to fight their way to the play-offs, but they passed that test with flying colors, and it really does feel like they could be considered dark horses when we head into Qatar.
Team News
Dalot is expected to remain in the squad ahead of Cancelo and says from there the Portuguese should have a fully fit squad to choose from.
SpainSpain have a special relationship with the World Cup thanks to their exploits in 2010, although they haven't quite lived up to the hype since then after dropping out in the group stage in 2014 and in round of 16 in 2018. They proved back at the Euros that they are still more than capable of making waves on the big stage and if they are to enter with any momentum a big performance is needed against their neighbors .
Team News
Carvajal is expected to come back in place of Azpilicueta as the Spaniards don't expect to change things too much.
Factors to Consider Spain and Portugal have drawn their last four meetings, including the 2018 World Cup. Portugal are 1st in Group 2 of League A of the Nations League with 10 points. Spain are 2nd in Group 2 of League A of the Nations League with eight points. Portugal have won four, drawn and lost one of their last six games. Spain have won three, drawn two and lost one of their last six matches. ConclusionThese two teams proved how evenly matched they were not too long ago and we expect to see something similar here, whatever value they might put on winning their group of the League of Nations. Spain will stay their course in the middle of the park and the hosts have real talent in that area too, which will likely lead to a goalless draw - and a little disappointing, at that.
