Spain vs Croatia: Spain hosts Croatia on Tuesday afternoon (29) in a major clash valid for Matchday 2 of Group 3 in League A of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. Kickoff is at 3:45 PM (Brasília time) at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium in Seville.
The match puts the top spot in the group on the line, as well as a historic milestone: the Spanish national team is on an incredible run of 39 games unbeaten and could reach 40 matches without defeat if it avoids losing to the Croatians. Spain comes into the game boosted by a 3-2 win over England in the opener, while Croatia beat the Czech Republic 2-1 away from home.
The reigning world champion, coached by Luis de La Fuente, arrives in top form after an electrifying 3-2 victory over England. Spain will rely on the talent of Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, and Rodri to maintain control in midfield and secure three more points at home.
However, the coaching staff had to deal with absences in the squad list. Center-back Eric García suffered a knee injury and was ruled out, making way for Robin Le Normand. Goalkeeper Joan García and full-back Pedro Porro are also confirmed absentees.
The Croatia national team takes the field determined to end the hosts’ long unbeaten run and move to the top of the group. After beating the Czech Republic 2-1 in the opener, Slaven Bilić’s team is counting on the talent and experience of veterans like Luka Modrić and Ivan Perišić.
With the same number of points and goal difference as Spain, a win at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán would leave the Croatians alone at the top of the group.
The match will be played this Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 3:45 PM (Brasília time).
The game will be broadcast live and exclusively on the subscription channel sportv.
The Spanish national team is currently on a 39-game unbeaten run and is looking to reach 40 matches without defeat in this clash against Croatia.
Spain and Croatia are level on points and goal difference, but Spain has the edge on goals scored after its 3-2 opening win over England.
