RELATED: Best bet to win UEFA Nations League
Spain and Portugal have met 38 times, with Spain earning 17 victories. There have been 15 draws between these two teams and the last 3 matchups ended in a draw as well.
The most recent match between the teams was a scoreless draw at a friendly in Madrid on June 4, 2021.
Why all the draw talk? Because FOX Sports soccer expert Doug McIntyre envisions a similar outcome for this match.
"Spain is clearly a team on the rise under manager Luis Enrique — they were the Nations League runner-up (to France) in 2021 — and they are the clear favorite Thursday playing at home," McIntyre explained. "But at +195, draw isn’t a bad bet at all: games between these rivals are always close, and each of the last four meetings between the Iberian neighbors ended in a stalemate."
PICK: Draw +195 at FOX Bet (bet $10 to win $29.50 total)
