Worth watching

The numbers
Spain enters as the Elo favorite with a dominant 13-0-3 record this season and five straight wins, though England's 11-3-2 mark shows quality opposition. The all-time head-to-head slightly favors England 14-12 with 3 ties across 29 meetings, but Spain won the most recent encounter 3-2 at England in September. Both sides are in strong form, with Spain's consistency over five games edging England's three-game streak.
Spain's unbeaten run of five straight victories and stellar 13-0-3 season record makes them difficult to overlook, especially at home. The Elo model backs them as favorites, and they've already proven they can beat this England side with a 3-2 victory in September. While England brings dangerous attacking form with recent dominant wins, Spain's defensive solidity—winning 1-0 and 2-1 in their last two outings—suggests they know how to grind out results when needed. The belt stays in Spain with a narrow home victory.
