Form and Preparation

England performed strongly at the 2026 World Cup and reached the semi-finals. Thomas Tuchel’s team suffered a dramatic 1:2 defeat to Argentina there, but finished the tournament with an impressive 6:4 victory over France in the third-place play-off.

For the start of the Nations League, Tuchel recalled Trent Alexander-Arnold to the squad, while Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon are also among those selected. England, however, are without several players due to injuries, including Declan Rice, Cole Palmer, Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo.

Spain take to the field for their first official match since winning the World Cup. Luis de la Fuente’s team defeated France 2:0 in the semi-final before overcoming Argentina 1:0 after extra time in the final to become world champions for the second time.

Before the Match

The match at Wembley pits the third-placed team from the most recent World Cup against the world champions. Spain begin a new cycle after their historic success in July, while England will try to carry their strong World Cup form into the Nations League.

After this match, England travel to the Czech Republic on 29 September, while Spain host Croatia. The top two teams in the group will advance to the quarter-finals of the competition.

The odds from the provided schedule indicate relatively close expectations but give a slight advantage to Spain. A victory for England is priced at 3.10, the draw at 3.50, while a win for the world champions is priced at 2.30.
