Spain and Germany lock horns this week in the UEFA Nations League for a spot in the semi-finals in the 2020-21 campaign. The match schedules for Tuesday at Seville with kickoff at 10:45 pm.
Germany is currently on top of League A Group 4 with nine points. The side is one point clear of side Spain in the rankings. It means that the La Roja remains to pick the three points this Tuesday to claim the first spot in the section.
Saturday night in Basel was an epic fail for Spain to take charge of Group 4 while heading into the match. All it took was a last-minute equalizer by Gerrard Moreno to secure a point in their 1-1 draw.
The most reliable penalty taker for the side, Sergio Ramos missed converting two penalties on the spot against Vladimir Petkovic’s side. The hopes of securing a spot in the finals lie on coming with a win this Tuesday night.
Germany is currently at the top of the group rakings with a draw this Tuesday enough to secure a spot in the semi-finals. It has been a poor start for Joachim Low with only two wins from their last five matches. Their 3-1 win over Ukraine was enough to place the side as contenders for a finals spot. Germany is currently unbeaten since their 4-2 loss to the Netherlands.
