Spain return to competitive action on Saturday with a high profile fixture against England at Wembley Stadium. La Roja enter this match holding both the World Cup and European Championship titles at the same time. Midfielder Fabian Ruiz spoke to the media about the mindset of the squad ahead of the opening fixture.

Unbeaten run strengthens Spanish odds

The national team brings an incredible thirty eight match unbeaten streak into this fixture. This run includes twenty nine victories and nine draws across all competitions. Bookmakers continue to price Spain very short in tournament markets because of this remarkable consistency.

Fabian admitted that maintaining success is the toughest challenge in professional football. The manager reminded the players that past achievements belong in the past and full focus must go to the present. The squad wants to add the Nations League trophy to their recent collection.

Strong record against England

Spain reach the final four in most editions of this tournament and rarely lose matches in regulation time. Head to head statistics also favor the visitors who won the recent European Championship final between the two nations. Punters will note that Spain have won six of their last nine meetings against England.

Those historical results and current form will shorten Spanish odds across major betting sites. England playing at home will try to alter that market momentum. Both teams possess plenty of talent for what should be a tight tactical battle.
