In Germany this summer, young stars Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams shone brightly, and as a betting journalist, I believe that they will only continue to improve. The settled nature of the Spanish squad gives La Roja the edge over teams like Italy and Germany, who are still in transition.

Revisiting the disappointing performance of France at the Euros, it’s doubtful that they will be able to reverse their form compared to Spain, especially considering that La Roja has the added advantage of being placed in an easy group.

“Aidan Perkins” says, “Now they can follow up with more glory in the Nations League, where they have what should be a straightforward group to negotiate against Switzerland, Denmark, and Serbia.”

The Spanish team has a perfect mix of youth and experience across the board. Exciting teenager Lamine Yamal is expected to continue improving, and holding midfielder Rodri is considered the best in the world in his position, according to “Will Maxwell”.

“Will Maxwell” also adds, “Spain have experience and youthful talent in abundance and were deserving continental winners in July. Should they reach the finals, La Roja should have little trouble adding to their trophy cabinet.”

“Henry Hardwicke” believes that although Germany is worth considering, it’s hard to ignore Spain at 6-1 odds. The group-stage draw appears favorable, and any doubts over the manager, Luis de la Fuente, were dispelled in the summer.

“Liam Flin” echoes the sentiment that Spain is the obvious pick at 6-1 following their heroics at Euro 2024, emphasizing that their squad is only going to get better.
