Open poll and resultsCzechia vs Spain prediction
Although Spain travel to Czechia without one of their main superstars in Lamine Yamal, Luis de la Fuente still boasts an utterly formidable squad to choose from in Prague. The world champions have been perfect so far in Group A3, winning all four of their games, including a 2-3 triumph against main challengers England at Wembley back in the opening round of fixtures.
La Roja may have one eye on Sunday's showdown with the Three Lions in Madrid, but de la Fuente will ensure that no complacency is shown against Czechia. The hosts sit rock bottom of the group, having lost four from four with ten goals conceded.
The reality is that there is a chasm between these two teams, and any outcome other than a comfortable Spanish victory, even without Yamal, would be a big shock.
