Netherlands vs Spain Lineups and Predicted Playing XI for UEFA Nations League 2024-25 Quarter-Final Match

Both Spain and Netherlands are star-studded. The hosts have a seasoned, world-class well-balanced side. Netherlands will be represented by the best-in-class defender like Van Dijk and De Ligt, who has been called after Nathan Ake and Stefan de Vrij were sidelined. The side has some big names up front as well, like Simons and Gakpo.

Spain on the other hand have a side somewhat filled with FC Barcelona players, who lack experience, but their skills are too good to notice the downside. Cubarsi, Pedri, and Lamine Yamal from Barca, grouped together with Zubimendi and Nico Williams is too dangerous for any team to handle, just as seen last year.
