UEFA Nations League will feature an enthralling showdown finale as Spain go head to head with the reigning world champions, France, to claim their hands on the trophy at the San Siro on Sunday. 

Seems like Spain has got their mojo back under manager Luis Enrique, as they produced a top-notch performance against Italy and dominated the entire game. They were too good for the Azzuri and broke their unbeaten record as well.

Spain vs France: Head-to-Head Prediction 

Even with a relatively young squad, Spain dominated the game against Italy and earned a well-deserved victory, as the team under Luis Enrique showed resilience and will be intent on winning the final on Sunday. 

While France has been nullified in the defense by every opponent they have come across, Spain have cohesiveness in their game which France is lacking, and with their Tiki-taka Spain will easily exploit France’s defense. 

Prediction: Spain 2-1 France
