19:45 Sunday

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lamine Yamal will go head-to-head in tonight's Nations League final between Portugal and Spain in Munich. Who will come out on top - the five-time Ballon d'Or winner or the second favourite for the 2025 award?

Portugal vs Spain Prediction

  • Portugal came from behind to book their place in the UEFA Nations League final, as they beat Germany 2-1.
  • A Selecao have failed to win their last six meetings with Sunday's opponents, Spain.
  • La Roja were left sweating in their eventual 5-4 win over France, as three late Les Bleus goals set up a nervy finish.
  • Even so, the European champions are out to defend their UEFA Nations League crown.
  • Spain claimed a narrow 1-0 win the last time these two met.
  • While one goal may settle the final again, fans should be treated to an enjoyable clash at the Allianz Arena.

Score Prediction: Portugal 2-3 Spain

  • Vitinha shone off the bench against Germany, and the PSG star is expected to replace Rúben Neves in the middle of the park.
  • Francisco Conceição netted shortly after his introduction in the midweek win over Germany and should be rewarded with a start.
  • Nélson Semedo and Diogo Jota are also hoping to feature from the outset.
  • Luis de la Fuente may opt for an unchanged XI for Sunday's final meeting with Portugal.
  • Dani Vivian disappointed from the bench in the 5-4 win over France and is unlikely to oust Robin Le Normand in defence here.

Our Bet Builder tips for Portugal vs Spain features Lamine Yamal to Score, Cristiano Ronaldo to Score, Spain to Win & Bruno Fernandes 1+ Foul.

At the time of publishing it is a best price of 18/1 with bet365.

  • Lamine Yamal hit the double in the semi-final and is clearly Spain's most dangerous player. I expect the teenage sensation to be on the scoresheet yet again.
  • I fully expect Cristiano Ronaldo to lead the line in the final on Sunday, he has 31 goals in 43 appearances this season and scored the winning goal against Germany to secure his nations spot in the final.
  • I am backing Spain to win the Nations League, after their dominating performance against France being 5-1 up in 67 minutes. They did have a wobble towards the end but I believe they will have enough to beat Portugal.
  • Bruno Fernandes is known for his passion and desire to win, he averages 0.9 fouls per game so I fully expect this trend to continue on Sunday.
