Spain and France will lock horns in the 2020/21 Nations League final at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday. The kick-off is at 20:45 CEST.

Preview

Arguably no one expected Spain to cause major troubles to Euro 2020 winners Italy in the NL semi-final on Wednesday given La Roja's injury problems but Luis Enrique's men sensationally defeated Roberto Mancini's crop to gain revenge on Gli Azzurri for the semi-final penalty loss at this summer's European Championship and thus make it to the 2020/21 Nations League final thanks to Ferran Torres' brace (2-1).

France, for their part, also produced an impressive second-half performance against Belgium in Thursday's semi-final to secure a 3-2 win despite being 2-0 down at the break. First Karim Benzema and then Kylian Mbappe and Theo Hernandez cancelled first-half strikes from Yannick Carrasco and Romelu Lukaku to pave the way for Les Bleus to the competition's final.

Team news

Neither Luis Enrique nor Didier Deschamps have fresh injury concerns following the semis but will still be without injured Alvaro Morata and Covid-positive N'Golo Kante on the weekend respectively.

Prediction

We arguably shouldn't mention each side's post-Euro 2020 form in September's 2022 World Cup qualifiers when predicting the forthcoming encounter in Milan. On the contrary, we'd only take their mid-week performances into the consideration and thus let's say that La Roja look to be the hot favourites to claim their first major trophy since Euro 2012 this time around. Enrique's crop ended Italy's 37-match unbeaten streak in all competitions to reach this final while France were the better side in a clash with a rather underperforming Belgium in the semi-final so let's back the 'hosts' to get the job done on Sunday.
