Our prediction for this Nations League match:
Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Switzerland, Spain will look to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Czech Republic on Sunday. La Roja aim to overtake Portugal in top position in Group 2, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Czechs. Man City midfielder was rested against the Rossocrociati, but he should start against Czech Republic, with Barca winger Ansu Fati pushing for a start as well.
The Czechs, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the UEFA Nations League, with the team beating Switzerland, losing to Portugal, while sharing the spoils with their Sunday rivals Spain. Anyhow, home win should be considered as the visitors are still without key attackers Patrick Schick, who has been ruled out with injury. Lokomotiv Moscow forward Jan Kuchta is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting side.

At the moment David de Gea can be considered as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and is involved many transfer rumours every transfer period. David de Gea played for more than 300 games on the highest level already.
Highlighted Team (Czech Republic):
Czech Republic national team is the natural successor of the Czechoslovakia side that dominated world football during the 20th century, winning one European Championship trophy and coming second at 1934 and 1962 World Cups. After the separation of the country in 1992, Czech Republic continued the proud tradition by qualifying for each of the next six European Championship finals, losing to Germany in the final of the 1996 tournament.
The Czechs also reached the last eight at the 2012 finals, but their World Cup record of late is pretty disappointing. Since separating from Slovakia, Czech Republic only qualified for one of five World Cup finals. The 1996 generation, featuring players like Pavel Nedved, Karel Poborsky and Patrik Berger, will forever remained etched in the fans’ memory, while the likes of Milan Baros, Jan Koller, Petr Cech and Tomas Rosicky are some of the other notable footballers.
Highly rated goalkeeper Petr Cech is the team’s most capped player, whereas towering forward Jan Koller tops the goalscoring charts with 55 strikes in 91 games.
