Spain will try to stretch its perfect Nations League start on Saturday when it hosts Czechia at Estadio Carlos Tartiere in Oviedo, with a 10th successive victory across all competitions also within reach. A win would keep Spain at the summit of Group 3 in League A and deepen a run that has already carried through this international period.
The reason the match has so much pull now is simple: Spain beat England and Croatia to open this stretch and has not lost in 90 minutes in 40 straight matches, while Czechia arrives after successive defeats to begin both its Nations League campaign and the Santi Denia era. For Denia, the return to Spain comes with the pressure already tilted firmly the home side’s way.
Spain’s last two results have shaped the table as much as the mood. Those victories over England and Croatia moved Spain to the top of Group 3 in League A, and Saturday offers a chance to protect that position while keeping the unbeaten run intact. The match is the third Nations League game of the international period, so the stakes are not only about one night in Oviedo but also about whether Spain can keep turning perfect starts into something more durable.
Czechia’s problem is that it has not found a foothold yet. Back-to-back defeats have left it needing a response against the most in-form side in the group, and the schedule does not ease afterward. Spain heads to Croatia on Tuesday, Oct. 6, while Czechia travels to England on the same day, so this result will follow both teams into another demanding week.
For viewers in the United States, the match is on Fox Sports, ViX and fuboTV. In Canada, it will be shown on fuboTV and DAZN. Viewers in Mexico can watch on Sky Sports and izzi, while in the United Kingdom the match is available on pay-per-view for £2.49 via Amazon Prime Video. Spain has been too consistent to make this feel like a routine stop, and Czechia has not yet shown that it can slow the pace.
