Spain will put their remarkable 40-match unbeaten run on the line when they face Czechia in Oviedo.

No team in international football is currently harder to beat. Spain’s streak stretches across competitive fixtures and friendlies, built on a squad that blends experienced winners with some of the most exciting young talent in Europe.

Czechia know the scale of the task. Few visiting sides have troubled Spain on home soil in recent years, and the hosts are expected to control possession from the first whistle in front of a partisan crowd in Oviedo.

The Czechs will look to stay compact and strike on the counter-attack. They have enough quality in midfield to make life uncomfortable if Spain start slowly.

Spain, though, have made a habit of finding a way through deep defences. Their patience in possession and movement off the ball have been the hallmark of the unbeaten run.

A 41st match without defeat would take Spain one step closer to one of the longest unbeaten sequences in the modern international game.
