----------------------------------------------
The Netherlands, aiming to improve after a Euro 2024 semi-final exit, face a formidable Spain side. Despite a mixed Nations League group stage, the Dutch are strong at home, boasting a 24-4 aggregate score in their last seven home games. However, their defense has been leaky, conceding seven goals in the group stage.

Spain, the current Nations League and European champions, enter with impressive form. Luis de la Fuente's team has won 14 of their last 15 matches, showcasing their dominance. They topped their Nations League group with 16 points, highlighting their consistency.

Injury issues plague both sides. The Netherlands miss key defenders, while Spain sees changes in their defensive lineup. Despite this, Spain's strong form and recent titles give them the edge. Expect a tight match, but Spain's current strength should secure a narrow first-leg victory.

Prediction: Spain to win by a narrow margin.
